The Legal Education Foundation (LEF) is an independent grant-making foundation operating across the UK to build a society that fosters the principles of justice and fairness, where people understand and use law to bring about positive change and to prevent harm, and where public systems and structures uphold the rule of law. It was founded in 1962 as The College of Law and constituted in its present form in 2012.
