Purpose
CILEx set out to create a formal process for training legal support staff that would be recognised and respected in the legal community. With growing recognition The institute's purpose has evolved: it now has its own front line regulator, ILEX Professional Standards (IPS) and provides a vocational career route from trainee to professional lawyer.
The profile of the institute's membership is also changing. Some of the most able legal executives are now law firm partners and legal executives can also become Judges in England and Wales. Law graduates may also take an alternative route to becoming a solicitor by using the institute's "graduate fast-track" scheme.

Famous quotes containing the word purpose:
“To found a great empire for the sole purpose of raising up a people of customers, may at first sight appear a project fit only for a nation of shopkeepers. It is, however, a project altogether unfit for a nation of shopkeepers, but extremely fit for a nation that is governed by shopkeepers.”
—Adam Smith (1723–1790)
“Some of my friends spoke as if I was coming to the woods on purpose to freeze myself.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Let our hearts, as subtle masters do,
Stir up their servants to an act of rage
And after seem to chide ‘em. This shall make
Our purpose necessary, and not envious;
Which so appearing to the common eyes,
We shall be called purgers, not murderers.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
