Community Law Otago – Free Legal Advice

You may be able to find the answers to your legal questions without needing to see us. Below are some great resources online that may be able to help

If you are looking for a comprehensive and practical source of legal information you are bound to find it on the national Community Law Website. The resources include books and guides, templates, education tool kits, and more.

New Zealand’s laws are found through many sources such as websites, books, statutes (legislation), case law, brochures, and helplines.

We receive many queries in search of “quick answers” or simple law related information. The law is seldom “black and white” and finding an answer often requires searching through mountains of information. 

To assist you, we have compiled a list of sources related to common queries. The sources are not exhaustive, and nor should it be relied upon as legal advice. If you are unable to find what you are looking for or would like to receive legal advice please contact us to see if we can help.
