I appreciated an early visit and offers of assistance from
the President of the Law Society Mr. Brian Tisdall and members of the
Council of the Law Society and later a valuable discussion with members
of the Council led by the Vice-President Mr. Simon Ip; again I am
grateful also for written contributions.

Mr. John Miller, Secretary-General of the Law Society, whom I saw in his recently relinquished capacity as Director of the Duty Lawyer Scheme, gave me a perceptive oral analysis and a written summary for which I am most grateful as I am to several officials of the Duty
Lawyer Scheme who put commendable effort into a set of instructive and constructive papers.
