There are few professional men, lawyers or not, who do not know of the Benson Report with its widespread inquiry into most aspects of the legal profession. Less well known, beyond any doubt, is the outcome of the approach which the Benson Commission made to the Law Society for the views of its Council on the system of training under articles. The education sub‐committee of the Commission was under the chairmanship of Professor R. G. Dahrendorf, Director of the London School of Economics, and the Law Society was invited to submit its views on the manner in which articled training might be improved with a view to discussing the proposals with members of that sub‐committee.
