The CouncilLearned in the Law was a highly controversial tribunal of Henry VII of England s reign.

It dealt with the king s fiscal matters and enforced payments of debts. It proved to be much more efficient than the Exchequer . By the end of Henry VII s reign, the CouncilLearned had become very unpopular, and after his death in 1509, it was abolished. Its most prominent councilors, Edmund Dudley and Richard Empson Sir Richard Empson were imprisoned. They were convicted of treason, even though evidence was scarce, Attainder attainted and executed in 1510.

In the Tower of London Tower , Dudley confessed to having issued harsher penalties than lawful in several cases, a statement which has given the Council a strongly negative connotation.

The CCBE represents around a million European lawyer s before EU institutions mainly, but also before other international organisations. The CCBE is an international non profit organisation AISBL under Belgian law and has its seat in Brussels . Creation and further steps The CCBE was created in September 1960 during a congress of the Union internationale des avocats UIA where it was suggested to create a body representing the bar associations of the six founding Member States of the EEC Western Germany, Belgium, France, Italy, Luxembourg and The Netherlands . The establishment of such a body was seen as necessary in order to represent the interests of lawyers before the EEC. The project came to life in December 1960 with the creation of The consultative committee of bars and national associations of the six States of the EEC gathered by the UIA . This appellation was eventually simplified to Council of Bars and Law Societies of Europe , retaining the abbreviation CCBE. The CCBE became autonomous in 1966. In 1977, the CCBE was closely consulted by the European Commission during the drafting of Directive EC 77 249 which permitted EU lawyers to provide temporary services in a EU Member State other than their home Member State.

The ACCC motto is Jude 3 Earnestly contending for the Faith . Membership in the AmericanCouncil of Christian Churches is available to denominations and individual Christians, who are admitted by a 3 4 majority vote. Agreement with the purposes and doctrinal statement are required and membership is specifically denied to those who have affiliations with the World Council of Churches WCC or any of its affiliates, such as the National Council of Churches National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U.S.A.

The ACCC has remained small in comparison to the National Association of Evangelicals and the National Council of Churches . This is due in part to its strong separatist stance, and in part because separatist denominations will often not participate in cross denominational organizations.
