The position of editor of the Law Journal affords one a particularly interesting vantage point, in that one maintains continuous and direct contact both with the Faculty students who are one's contributors, and with the Lau Society which is the Journal's parent body. It would be ostrich-like to deny that far more co-operation is needed between Committee and Students if the Society as a whole is to achieve its declared aims,· and in stating this, the editor does not intend to start off slinging a match between Committee and Students: mutual lampooning is to no avail, and hardly worthy of University, undergraduates. Students in the Faculty should, on their part, resist the common temptation to criticize and stop there: they should stand up, speak and act to bring their purposes to effect. On the other hand, the Committee should encourage more participation by the students who are its clientele, by organizing group work.

It is the rich veracity of this statement that beckons the legal man today to a new consciousness as to his role in society. And his role is all pervading too. It is law which maintains a social structure that is not built on the power in the barrel of a gun. In law, might is not right but right is might. Like any other instrument which yields power, law is also open to abuse. It is the demanding duty of the lawyer or law student to sound his voice and resort to mounting effective pressure, as an individual or as part of a pressure group, to right wrong. His sense of Justice must drive him to see that abuse is substituted by proper, sound use of such a powerful weapon.

However, a help in cackling this problem could be the introduction in Malta of the ticket system imposing a fixed penalty on the offender. This system has worked satisfactorily in North America and various European countries, and it seems to me, that there is no reason why it should not prove successful in Malta too.
