The Legal Practitioners Conduct Board is established under the Legal Practitioners Act 1981.

How is the Board funded?

It is funded by the Guarantee Fund which is a fund maintained by the Law Society of South Australia and consists of;

  1. A proportion of interest earned from deposits in the combined trust account (the combined trust account is maintained by payments of certain deposits from practitioners' trust accounts).
  2. Money recovered by the Law Society in relation to claims against the Guarantee Fund
  3. A prescribed proportion of fees paid by lawyers for their Practising Certificates or for interstate practitioners setting up office in this state;
  4. in addition to certain costs recovered and any fees paid to the Board.

No payment can be made from the Guarantee Fund except with authorisation of the Attorney-General.
