Editorial [Id-Dritt, 3, December 1973]

Abstract

This edition of the Law Journal comes propitiously towards the end of 1973, and it is felt by the editor that a word in the way of new resolutions, or even a reaffirmation of old ones, u.-0uld not be altogether out of place. 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.
