The Advisory Board is used to gain strategic level input from a broad cross section of the legal profession and from individuals with specialist expertise. The Board will meet three times a year, to provide high level strategic guidance, share knowledge and ideas, and bring a broad range of perspectives to Centre strategy and projects. It ensures that the Centre’s projects are important, relevant and have the potential for practical and/or policy impact. ​
