Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

The Records of Legal Education Archives (RLEA) was established to provide a home for legal education records, for which there was no alternative place of custody. It was created as part of the Records of Legal Education Project, a research study undertaken in 1996, conducted with the support of the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies (IALS). The RLEA consists of a collection of papers of individuals and organisations prominent in the field of legal education, and is held at IALS.
