We recently conducted research revealing women lawyers remain markedly under-represented as counsel in the Court of Appeal and Supreme Court. Disappointingly, the research confirmed there has been no meaningful improvement since the previous reviews.

@StrictlyObiter Yikes! You aren't a member! It is only free to members... Will have to consult a lawyer to see if we can invent a new tort to cover this. Got any free time for a pro bono file?

@WhatsnewonNZLII Feel free to email Exec Director at Bar Assoc for further discussion about how we might be able to help.

[New Zealand Bar Association (NZBA) @NZBarAssoc]

@WhatsnewonNZLII Apologies if this has already been said. NZLII provides an essential service in access to justice. It allows those who cannot afford full legal representation to find relevant material. We love our paid-for services, but the average person can't afford these.
