The Committee of Heads of University Law Schools (CHULS) consists of the heads of every United Kingdom university law school/department funded by the higher education funding councils.

The work of CHULS focuses on issues of concern to the heads of law schools, including:

• The development of policies which may have an impact upon legal education in the university sector and their administration.
• The representation of the views of heads of law schools to organisations involved in legal education.
• The organisation of responses to official consultation papers, whether from government or from the legal professions.
• The dissemination of good practice concerning legal education and assisting in the promotion of good management practice in law schools.
• The running of events for its members including principally an annual conference
• Liaising with other learned societies in the academic law sector, especially the Association of Law Teachers and the Society of Legal Scholars.

All heads are invited to meet in plenary session twice a year, and there are also regular training and briefing events.

Much work is undertaken on behalf of the membership by the Executive Committee, currently chaired by Dr Elizabeth Mytton, Dean of the Business School, Bournemouth University (e-mail).
