Call for nominations to the new CLA Council 2022 -2024
All CLA members are invited to submit nominations for the election of the new CLA Council for the period 2022- 2024.
With the recent changes to the Constitution overwhelmingly endorsed at the General meeting in June 2021 , the new Council has been expanded so that there are vacancies for a Council member to represent each of the 54 Commonwealth member states, together with a member from each Crown Dependency and British Overseas Territory. Scotland, Northern Ireland, Zimbabwe and Hong Kong will each also have a seat on Council to make geographic diversity a keystone of the new framework.
We are seeking nominations of candidates who are prepared to actively support and engage with the objectives of the CLA and the challenges of the new strategic period. Joining the CLA Council is a unique and prestigious opportunity to represent your jurisdiction’s perspective and to work to promote the rule of law and integrity of the legal profession on an international footing. We urge all our members to become involved with this expanded opportunity for direct involvement.
Please read the attached guidance documents for further information :
