Laws read law at Bristol, graduating in 1972. He was the first in his family to go to University.[2] After a year lecturing at Bristol, Laws was called to the Bar at Middle Temple, and following pupillage and a brief period practising, he joined the Home Office in 1975 as a legal assistant. He transferred to the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel the next year, and excepting two secondments to the Law Commission, stayed there until his retirement, rising first to Deputy Parliamentary Counsel in 1985, and then Parliamentary Counsel in 1991. He replaced Sir Geoffrey Bowman as First Parliamentary Counsel in 2006.[3] As head of the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel, Laws was responsible for the drafting of all the government legislation which is laid before Parliament. Alongside the Treasury Solicitor and the Director of Public Prosecutions, Laws was one of the three most senior lawyers in the Civil Service. He undertook his LLB at Bristol University, graduating in 1972, and was thus the first non-Oxbridge graduate to hold the office.[4] Laws was appointed the CB in the 1996 New Year Honours.[5] References1. ^http://tmc.independent.gov.uk/commissioners/ {{s-start}}{{s-legal}}{{s-bef | before = Sir Geoffrey Bowman }}{{s-ttl | title = First Parliamentary Counsel2. ^http://www.bristol.ac.uk/pace/graduation/honorary-degrees/hondeg12/laws.html 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.sas.ac.uk/bowman.html|title=Sir Geoffrey Bowman, KCB QC|author=School of Advanced Studies|date=October 2007|publisher=University of London|accessdate=9 October 2010|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110613205033/http://www.sas.ac.uk/bowman.html|archivedate=13 June 2011|df=}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.bris.ac.uk/alumni/featured/notables/laws.html|title=Stephen Laws CB (LLB 1972)|author=Stephen Laws|date=April 2008|work=Featured alumni|publisher=Bristol University|accessdate=9 October 2010|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20121008005137/http://www.bris.ac.uk/alumni/featured/notables/laws.html|archivedate=8 October 2012|df=}} 5. ^{{London Gazette|issue=54255|date=29 December 1995|page=3|supp=1}} | years = 2006–2012}}{{s-aft | after = Sir Richard Heaton }}{{end}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Laws, Stephen}}{{UK-gov-bio-stub}} 7 : Year of birth missing (living people)|Living people|First Parliamentary Counsel|British lawyers|Alumni of the University of Bristol|Knights Commander of the Order of the Bath|Honorary Queen's Counsel |
