Establishment of LPEAC
14B Establishment of LPEAC
The Legal Practitioners Education and Admission Council (LPEAC) is established.
LPEAC—
is a body corporate; and
has perpetual succession and a common seal; and
is capable of suing and being sued.
Where an apparently genuine document purports to bear the common seal of LPEAC, it will be presumed in any legal proceedings, in the absence of proof to the contrary, that the common seal of LPEAC was duly affixed to that document.
LPEAC has the powers of a natural person.
LPEAC consists of—
the Chief Justice; and
the Attorney-General; and
three judges (each of whom is either a judge of the Supreme Court or a judge of the Federal Court) appointed by the Chief Justice;
and
the Dean (or acting Dean) of the faculty or school of law at
Adelaide University; and
the Dean (or acting Dean) of the faculty or school of law at The
Flinders University of South Australia; and
the presiding member of the Board of Examiners; and
a law student nominated in a manner determined by the Chief Justice and appointed by the Chief Justice; and
a legal practitioner appointed by the Attorney-General;
and
four legal practitioners appointed by the Society (at least one of whom will, at the time of appointment, be a legal practitioner who is practising predominantly as a barrister).
The Chief Justice and the Attorney-General may each appoint a person to act as his or her deputy at any meeting of LPEAC that the Chief
Justice or the Attorney-General is unable to attend.
The Chief Justice will be the presiding member of
LPEAC.
