Dr Clíodhna Murphy has been appointed to the newly-formed Education and Training Committee of the Legal Services Regulatory Authority, as one of seven Committee members. In April, the Committee began its work towards implementing structural reforms to the system of education and training of solicitors and barristers.
The Committee is formed under section 16 of the Legal Services Regulation Act 2015. It will carry out preparatory work for the delivery of key recommendations made by the Authority in its 2020 report to the Minister for Justice Setting Standards: Legal Practitioner Education and Training. The Committee will also play an important role in assisting the Authority with the delivery of the recommendations made in its Breaking Down Barriers reports on the economic and other barriers facing aspiring and early career solicitors and barristers.
