Legal aid current awareness — one web page to rule them all

/
Content updates

If you want to know what's happening with legal aid in New Zealand, the Current Awareness page in Legal Services on Westlaw New Zealand provides a handy list of recent developments and points the way to further information.

You might be wondering:

  • Has the Legal Services Act 2011 been amended recently? Or regulations under the Act?
  • Has the Legal Aid Tribunal or Review Authority published any decisions recently? What about recent appeals to the senior courts?
  • Has the Minster of Justice issued any press releases about legal aid recently? Or answered any parliamentary questions relating to legal aid?
  • Has the Legal Services Commissioner or Legal Aid Services (within the Ministry of Justice) made any legal aid announcements recently? Or updated any legal aid policies/manuals?
  • Has the legal profession published anything on legal aid recently? What about mainstream media outlets?

The Current Awareness page in Legal Services provides answers to these questions and more.

And don’t forget about the Legal Services — What's New page for the latest content updating in Legal Services itself.
