I would encourage as many of you as possible to consider going forward for 'election. The solicitors profession is a self regulating profession. Many of the important decisions which affect solicitors are made within the Society. It is most important that the numbers now in the Corporate and Public Services sectors are reflected in the membership of Council. Many solicitors who are not in a position to make the commitment which being a Council member requires, serve on committees of the Society. The work of many of these committees is very worthwhile. If you would be interested in serving on one of the committees you should write to Frank Daly, the incoming President of the Law Society, expressing your willingness to do so. MEETING TO INAUGURATE AN ASSOCIATION OF SOLICITORS IN THE CORPORATE AND PUBLIC SERVICE SECTORS This Association is being formed to represent the interests of solicitors outside private practice. WEDNESDAY, 23OCTOBER 1996 6.30pm LAW SOCIETY BLACKHALL PLACE, DUBLIN 7 • ALL WELCOME • Light refreshments will be served after the meeting. Enquiries: Michael Carroll, Solicitor Tel: 6775661: Fax: 677 2293 Michael Carroll, Chairman.
