CALRAs has a broad set of aims and objectives in its founding constitution. The following are some of the possible areas for action in due course:-

• Mutual information and support;
  
  
• Sharing advice about methods of law reform;
  
  
• Exchanging information about topics for law reform;
  
  
• Sharing information about the impact which law reform bodies can make;
  
  
• Innovation: exchanging information about successful ways of working.

CALRAs will avoid duplicating work or initiatives undertaken by others.

First priorities

CALRAs has decided initially to give high priority to:-

• organising a Commonwealth law reform conference every two years (where possible, in association with the Commonwealth Law Conference) as well as other conferences and events as required;
  
  
• promoting staff development and exchange opportunities among members;
  
  
• developing a protocol about law reform agencies receiving copies of all law reform publications;
  
  
• facilitating the development of a CALRAs internet portal, with hotlinks to the homepages of all member law reform agencies; and
  
  
• seeking to develop an online training/research course dedicated to the needs of law reform staff.
