How our laws are made and how to find them
a half day training seminar
26 May 2005
at CILIP
7 Ridgmount Street, London WC1E 7AE
1.30 for 1.45 to 5 pm
Organised by
Standing Committee on Official Publications of ISG, CILIP
This half-day seminar is intended for professionals and para-professionals
who wish to learn more about UK legislation. It is intended to increase
participants' knowledge of this vital area and assumes no prior knowledge of
the sources or processes.
It provides a background to the law-making processes and the different
legislative bodies within the UK. Proposed legislation will be tracked from
its origins through its various parliamentary stages to the enactment of the
legislation. Once an act has been passed it can be affected by subsequent
legislation, so it is essential to know which parts of it are in force. The
databases and print sources for both enacted legislation and legislation in
force will be reviewed, with an emphasis on official sources.
Much of the legislation that affects us is delegated or secondary
legislation, of which statutory instruments are the best-known examples.
These are subject to much less scrutiny by legislative bodies, but contain
the essential detail that shows exactly how the laws affect us. People and
organisations in every area of activity need to be aware of relevant
legislation in the thousands of new or amended statutory instruments issued
each year.
The European Union has had a profound influence on the UK over the last
thirty years, and its legislation supersedes national law and is applied by
national courts. Some EU legislation applies directly and equally to all
member states, while other measures must be implemented in national law.
By the end of the seminar participants will:
* Know which bodies are involved in the law-making process
* Understand how bills are considered & be able to track their progress in
the legislature
* Understand the significance & nature of delegated legislation
* Be aware of the main electronic & print sources for the text of
legislation and their key qualities
* Understand the significance of European Union legislation in the UK and
how it is implemented
The cost will be £70.00 [ISG members £60] + VAT
Applications should be received by 12 May 2005
