Legalisation: Advisory Board

The Legalisation Study is overseen by an Advisory Board of specialist academics and practitioners. Some are drawn from the Institute's advisory groups; others have been selected for this project on the basis of their outstanding contribution to previous institute work. All bring relevant expertise to bear on this current initiative.

Two formal meetings of the Board are convened during the Study's duration; critical review of the project outputs is provided where necessary. The Institute is immensely grateful for the contribution of the Advisory Board, the members of which are as follows:
