European Young Bar Assoc i at ion Founded The European Young Bar Association (EYBA), a new organisation

lawyers throughout the continent of Europe. The founding conference properly took place in Prague as an indication of one of the aims of the EYBA which is to develop relations with Eastern European countries. The potential for such development was evidenced by the active participation at the conference by lawyers from Moscow, Hungary and the Czech Republics. Andrew Greenfield, a partner specialising in EC Law at the London firm, Slingsby Farmiloe and Greenfield and a member of the London Young Solicitors Group, was elected as the first chairman of the organisation and a constitution was vigorously debated before ratification by the Conference. The SYS was elected to the Association's Sub-

Committee for European Affairs.

The aspirations of the EYBA have been well received by its members and the organisation's potential as a body representing the real interests of young lawyers in an increasingly accessible Europe is very promising indeed. The EYBA intends to be a city/region based organisation and Young Bar Associations around the country are encouraged to participate in its future.

Representatives from Luxembourg and Romania have since applied for membership. EYBA's objectives are to promote the interests and welfare of young lawyers and to encourage links between such
