Centre for Welsh Legal Affairs
CWLA's Constitution and Management
The Constitution of the Centre for Welsh Legal Affairs provides that its remit shall be:
a. facilitating research into Welsh legal affairs, emphasising not only the operation of the law within Wales but also the United Kingdom, European and international contexts;
b. participating in appropriate interdisciplinary research initiatives;
c. initiating proposals for enhancing the undergraduate and postgraduate provision of Welsh legal studies;
d. acting as a focal point for postgraduate research activity falling within its remit;
e. initating proposals for training courses for lawyers and other professional groups within Wales.
The Constitution also establishes a Management Board for the day to day running of the Centre: it is made up of the Director of the Centre for Welsh Legal Affairs and up to six other members of the staff of the Department of Law and Criminology. The Centre also has an external Advisory Board which assists the Management Board. Annual reports and statement of income and expenditure are submitted to the Academic Board of the Department of Law and Criminology which has overall responsibility for the operation of the Centre.
