THE COLLEGE

IS ITS PEOPLE

The College employs over 400 staff, drawing from the legal
professional community at all levels. So we are in many ways a part of
the profession. We actively recruit both full and part-time staff from
the profession to ensure the design and delivery of our programmes
reflect current practice.

We maintain our edge in practical law by drawing on the experience
and knowledge of our Advisory Boards, our Chapter Boards, our
Board of Governors, our Fellows and our extensive alumni.
