The Law Commission Act 1965 set up the Law Commission, an independent group consisting of five legal experts chosen from the judiciary, legal profession and legal academics. The current chairman is the Court of Appeal judge, Sir James Munby. The chair is appointed for up to 3 years. The other four commissioners are appointed by the Lord Chancellor and the secretary of state for justice. They work for the Law Commission for 5 years, although their appointments can be extended. They are aided by members of the Government Legal Service and two parliamentary counsel (the draftsmen who write the proposals into legal terminology). They also employ law graduates to work as research assistants.
