Legal Services is the only comprehensive updated guide to civil and criminal legal aid in New Zealand.

The Legal Services Act 2011 is provided with an introduction and section-by-section commentary. The Legal Services Regulations 2011 and the Legal Services (Quality Assurance) Regulations 2011 follow, again with annotated commentary. Legislation and commentary relating to the 2000 and 1991 legal services regimes are also included for historical reference (online and eBook only).

In addition to legislation and commentary, Legal Services includes chapters for administrative/policy material and practical guides, including in relation to the Legal Aid Tribunal. Selected decisions from the courts are reproduced in full. Extracts from the Legal Aid Review 2009 (which prompted the regime change in 2011) and links to news/information from the government and legal sector are also included.

This authoritative work is a one-stop reference text for information on legal aid and other legal services provided under the current Legal Services Act 2011 and regulations.
