The New Zealand Law Society has published a Practice Briefing focusing on the large variety of legal associations, networks and lobby groups that are of interest to lawyers and law students.

These groups provide collegiality and expertise, organise events and often hold an annual conference. The organisation and membership levels vary from body to body.

The briefing is arranged into different sections:

• Areas of law
• Women lawyers
• Ethnic Lawyers
• Young Lawyers
• Students, and
• Others

This is a comprehensive list but if you feel an organisation merits inclusion please email: craig.stephen@lawsociety.org.nz

The full list of NZLS’ practical, downloadable Practice Briefings are available here.
