Illustration for Lawyers and Conveyancers Act 2006

The New Zealand Council of Legal Education can make rules. You can think of rules like a set of instructions that help the Council work properly. The Council can make these rules to help with things like meetings, looking after property, and giving jobs to its employees. The Council can make rules for other reasons too, as long as they are not inconsistent with the Lawyers and Conveyancers Act 2006. You can find more information about this Act, but for now, just know that the Council has the power to make rules. The Council can change or get rid of these rules at any time. The Council's rules can cover many areas, including how meetings are run and how the Council's property is kept safe. The rules can also outline what the Council's employees are supposed to do. This helps the Council work smoothly and do its job properly.
