THE

LEGAL PRACTITIONERS' SOCIETY.

THIS

HIS SOCIETY has for its object the reform of the unsatisfactory state of the Legal Profession. The want of such a Society has long been felt, and the demand for it has been rendered all the more imperative by the recent and the impending legislative changes in our judicial system.

Societies for promoting these changes, as well as Societies for the amendment of the law itself, already exist. This Society, of a less ambitious character, does not seek to supersede any of the existing organisations, confining its operations to the reform of proved abuses in connection with the Profession only.

Although its basis is thus restricted, it will have no lack of work to perform. Among the many subjects which engage its attention may be mentioned the following:

1. To adjust the relations of the two branches of the Legal Profession, as well inter se as in reference to the Public.

2. To protect the Legal Profession against the encroachments of unqualified persons.

Members of the Legal Profession of every degree, whether Barristers-at-Law, Attorneys-at-Law, Solicitors, Special Pleaders, Conveyancers, or Proctors, and Articled Clerks, or Students of the Inns of Court, are eligible for Membership. The Annual Subscription of Ordinary Members is fixed at the almost nominal amount of FIVE SHILLINGS, to secure the adhesion of as many Members of the Legal Profession as possible. Any movement for the reform of the existing state of the Profession, to be permanently successful, must necessarily proceed from within, and secure the hearty co-operation and support of both its branches.

The Annual Subscription of Vice-Presidents is ONE GUINEA. Donors of FIVE GUINEAS are eligible as Life Vice-Presidents.

Any further information may be obtained from the Honorary Secretary, CHARLES FORD, Esq., at the Office of the Law Times, 10, Wellington-street, Strand, London, W.C., to whom all Communications should be addressed by Members of the Legal Profession desirous of joining the Society. Subscriptions for the current year are now payable to the Honorary Treasurer, W. T. CHARLEY, Esq., D.C.L., M.P., 5, Crown Office-row, Temple, London, E.C.; or at the Society's Bankers, Union Bank (Chancery-lane Branch).
