Commonwealth Association of Legislative Counsel
The object of the Commonwealth Association of Legislative Counsel (“CALC”) is to promote cooperation in matters of professional interest among people in the Commonwealth engaged in legislative drafting, training people in legislative drafting or editing legislative drafts. CALC has members in most parts of the Commonwealth.
CALC was established at the Commonwealth Law Conference held in Hong Kong in 1983. Meetings of CALC were held in conjunction with each Commonwealth Law Conference until 2022 when CALC conferences became separate.
