Legal profession
Proper regulation is vital to ensure a robust, independent legal profession, with high ethical standards. LAG seeks to ensure that the regulation and education of lawyers enhances the quality and accessibility of legal services for those who are vulnerable or socially excluded, and that entry to the legal profession is open to all and reflects the diversity of society. We also have an interest in judicial appointments and in the functions of the Ministry of Justice.
