Specialist committees and working groups made up of experts appointed by the national delegations discuss and develop policy papers on a wide range of areas affecting the European legal profession.
IT Law Committee
This committee monitors, influences and responds to developments in IT law and policy that affect the profession of a lawyer, the practice of law or the administration of justice. These developments may include legislation in force, legislative proposals and case law, international agreements, as well as non-legislative initiatives, including industry developments. In doing so, the committee seeks to promote the highest professional standards and best practice by the legal profession in relation to these topics.
