| The
Institute is established as part of The College of Law's charitable activities
(go to http://www.college-of-law.co.uk/about-the-college/legal-services-policy-institute.html).
The Institute's role includes:
|
:: | seeking
a more efficient and competitive marketplace for legal services, which properly
balances the interests of clients, providers, and the public; |
| :: | contributing
to the process of policy formation and influencing the important policy issues
in the legal services sector and, in doing so, promoting the public interest rather
than the interests or concerns of any particular party; |
| :: | alerting
government, regulators, professional bodies, practitioners and other providers,
and the wider public, to the implications of these issues; |
| :: | encouraging
and enabling better-informed planning in legal services by law firms and other
providers, government, regulators and representative bodies (including responding
to consultation papers). | |
