Legal Impact Act
consolidated legal framework
The ‘Legal Impact Act’ is a consolidated collection of legislative proposals, sample clauses and recommended actions for governments, businesses, individuals and other organizations. The ‘Legal Impact Act’ is published by the Legal Impact Society. The Society is assembling a Board of Editors composed of the world’s leading legal scholars and practitioners. The individual chapters and paragraphs are distributed by the Board of Editors to renowned legal authors with outstanding expertise in their field.
The entire work is regularly renewed and reissued to meet the standards and benchmarks that we set ourselves. The work appears in print once a year. The most up-to-date form is available online for members at any time.
