Board of Governors

The Board of Governors has seven members. Under the Law & Justice Foundation Act, the Attorney General appoints six Governors to the Law & Justice Foundation Board. The seventh member is the current Director of the Foundation. Appointments are usually for three years and one of the Governors is appointed as Chair of the Board. Three are nominated by the Attorney General, and one is nominated by the Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Assembly. One is to be a legal practitioner who is a nominee of the NSW Bar Association. One is to be a legal practitioner who is a nominee of the Law Society of New South Wales. All members must also be considered to have, in the opinion of the Attorney General, special expertise.
