IBA Biennial Conference, Melbourne 1994.

The Sama r i t ans . . . Someone to L i sten In the course of our work as solicitors we have occasion to meet clients who present problems or difficulties that may not be of a legal nature. Together with their legal problems, they may present others, e.g. bereavement, financial worries, loneliness, broken relationships, inability to cope with stress. While we do address the legal issues presented by a client, we may not always have the time or ability simply to listen to a client who wishes to talk about other problems. The Samaritans exist to befriend the lonely, the depressed and the suicidal. They are a non-denominational organisation, available 24 hours a day to offer time and a listening ear to those in need. If it is felt appropriate or necessary, a solicitor can, with sensitivity, point a client in the direction of the Samaritans. A list of Samaritan branches and telephone numbers is set out below. Solicitors might also note that the Samaritans are a voluntary organisation supported, mainly, by donations. Bequests and donations are always welcome and solicitors might bear this in mind if requested by a client to suggest a suitable charity. (Bequests should be made out to a specific branch.)

President's Prize

The 25th Biennial conference of the International Bar Association will be held from 9 - 1 4 October next year in Melbourne. The links between lawyers in this country and in Australia, particularly the state of Victoria, are well known and for that reason it is likely that many people will wish to attend the Conference. Already there have been many enquiries and if the numbers are sufficient, attractive rates of travel and hotel accommodation should be available. Any person interested at this stage should contact either of the undersigned as soon as possible so that further investigation into the possibilities of group travel may be undertaken.

The results of the President's Prize held at Rosses Point on 24 September, 1993, were as follows: Winner. Sean McTeman - 36 points [H/C 19]. Runner up: Dermot Fullam - 35 points [H/C 13]. The Ryan Cup: Winner: Con O'Leary - 35 points [H/C 24], Runner up: Joe Keys - 35 points [H/C 13].
