The Ad Hoc Committee on the Review of the Legal Profession Act 1976 (“Review Committee”), headed by Peter Mooney, completed its work and submitted its proposed amendments in 2008.  Subsequently, Bar Council appointed the Malacca Bar Committee to go through the proposed amendments submitted by the Review Committee.  

The Ad Hoc Committee on Amendments to the Legal Profession Act 1976 (“Committee on Amendments”) was formed for this purpose, comprising members from the Malacca Bar and, by special invitation, Sulaiman Abdullah.
 
Upon completion of the review, the Committee on Amendments will forward its report and recommendations to Bar Council for consideration. 

Bar Council and the Committee on Amendments wish to acknowledge the hard work and thorough efforts of the members of the Review Committee, and to thank them for their contribution towards reviewing the Legal Profession Act 1976.
