NZ Law Society Changes Library Service for Lawyers
THe NZ Law Society announces that Library resources are becoming more accessible for lawyers in the wake of a series of changes.
Following agreements with two legal publishers, case law and commentary are being made available online via computers in courthouse lawyers’ rooms in a development being rolled out around the country.
The library service recently concluded information supply agreements with CCH New Zealand and Thomson Reuters that will see an existing service extended to far more centres, making it truly national in scope.
This service was already available in the Auckland, Wellington and Canterbury courts when this edition of LawTalk went to print. Lawyers’ rooms in other areas with a computer can expect the service very soon.

Law Society Response to Margaret Bazley
The NZ Law Society's response to the Bazley report about lawyers 'gaming the system' drew support from the NZ Law Society president John Marshall, according to reports. "Like Dame Margaret, we want to see a legal aid system that is efficient and where legal aid is provided by experienced and competent lawyers. We will work with the Government and its agencies to ensure that outcome is achieved.
"We are delighted that a more robust accreditation and review process has been recommended to help with standards; the Law Society proposed this and we look forward to helping implement it.
"The society is also concerned about any lawyers who may not be performing adequately."
