skills training in C.L.E. programmes; 3. In programme creation, the major emphasis was on his chairmanship of the Society's Continuing Legal Education Sub-Committee since its creation in 1980 and again on references to the Washington Conference and the joint programme in Dublin wi th Minnesota C.L.E. on "Doing Business in Ireland", which followed from work done at that Conference; 4. In administration, there was the rich array of posts held by him during membership of the Council of the Law Society from 1973 to 1989 as well as his Presidency of the Dublin Solicitors' Bar Association and his International Bar Associa- tion posts. The whole Irish legal community will unite in congratulating John Buckley on this well-merited award, which also has the added benefit of publicising the Irish legal com- munity in a most positive way on the international scene. In a shrinking world, the beneficial effects on our image abroad stemming from the services of our colleagues serving on or with international bodies are perhaps under-recognised. The timing of the presentation also fortuitously dovetails with the initiative of the Society in commissioning a stand at the ABA Conference in Atlanta in August to promote, inter- nationally, the availability in Ireland and, via Ireland in the EEC, of the services of the Irish solicitors' profession. •

Call to Photographers "A photograph is not only an imaga (as a painting is an imaga), an interpretation of the real, it is also a trace, something directly stencilled off the real, like a footprint or a death mask". Susan Sontag Readers are requested to send (old or new) photographs of lawyers and photographs (old and new) of scenes associated with lawyers which will be considered for publication in the Gazette. From time to time, a photograph is also required for the front cover. Readers will appreciate that not all photographs, negatives, etc are capable of being reproduced satisfactorily on the Gazette paper. Accordingly, it may not be possible to reproduce all photographs submitted. Photographs must be clear, of an appropriate quality, and should be accompanied by a description of the persons or the scene (Courthouse, etc.) the subject matter of the photograph. All photographs, negatives, etc will be returned to the owners.
