GoAbroad

Open to both interns and volunteers, this program involves working at community law offices. These firms assist individuals who cannot afford to pay for legal services or those who have a legal need that cannot be met by other agencies or providers. They provide legal advice and assistance, law-related education, legal information, and in some cases, representation in court. The legal information provided includes comprehensive documentation that outlines answers to common questions about the New Zealand legal system, legal aid, criminal proceedings, police powers, court fines, domestic violence, harassment, consumer, tenancy, neighbor disputes, accident compensation, privacy, and wills. Advanced interns will have the option to provide research assistance and interface with clients.
