TORs focus on the review and reform of laws other than the Constitutional Laws: the Acts of Parliaments and their respective subordinate laws. For the review of ordinary laws, a Reference is issued by the Minister for Justice and Attorney General, or the National Parliament through the Speaker to the Commission. TORs take 18 months to complete.<\/h4>\n

References are also triggered via following ways: first, by CLRC on its own research initiatives; second, by a referral by the Commissioners; and third, submissions from the citizens. Findings from these initiatives must be converted to a formal TOR from the Minister. Below is the process for review of TORs:<\/h4>\n
