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."
