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:
“... the word “education” has an evil sound in politics; there is a pretense of education,
when the real purpose is coercion without the use of force.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“Of what significance the light of day, if it is not the reflection of an inward dawn?—to what purpose is the veil of night withdrawn, if the morning reveals nothing to the soul? It is merely garish and glaring.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“And the purpose of the many stops and starts will be made clear:
Backing into the old affair of not wanting to grow
Into the night, which becomes a house, a parting of the ways
Taking us far into sleep. A dumb love.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
