Illustration for Lawyers and Conveyancers Act 2006

You know about the New Zealand Council of Legal Education. This council has been around for a while. It was continued by section 31(1) of the Law Practitioners Act 1982 and was called the Council of Legal Education before. The council is now called the New Zealand Council of Legal Education. It is a body corporate, which means it can do things like a person can. The council has its own seal and can make decisions. The council can do things that it is allowed to do by this Act, or by other laws, or by rules. But it can only use its powers to do its job. The council must follow some rules, like sections 153 to 156 of the Crown Entities Act 2004, which apply to it like it was a Crown entity.
