History
The Lord Chancellor's Advisory Committee on Legal Education and Conduct (ACLEC) was established in 1991 under the Courts and Legal Services Act 1990. The Committee had the general duty of assisting in the maintenance and development of standards in the education, training and conduct of those offering legal services. In the field of legal education and training, its brief was as follows:
- to keep under review the education and training of those who offer to provide legal services.
- to consider the need for continuing education and training for such persons and the form it should take.
- to consider the steps which professional and other bodies should take to ensure that their members benefit from such continuing education and training.
ACLEC was abolished by Statutory Instrument 1999 No.3296. Its functions were taken over by a new Legal Services Consultative Panel within the Lord Chancellor's Department.
