520 _aThe New Zealand Law Society | Te Kāhui Ture o Aotearoa commissioned Kantar Public (formerly Colmar Brunton) to undertake a survey of all lawyers to assess the current state of access to justice in Aotearoa New Zealand. The survey explores the legal aid system, and the types of services lawyers are providing for free or at reduced rates. Objectives: Understand levels of engagement and motivation behind providing or not legal aid or free legal services; Identify any issues with the legal aid system or access to justice with the aim of removing barriers to provision; Tell the stories of legal aid provision in Aotearoa New Zealand; Build an evidence base that will support advocacy for better access to justice within the Aotearoa New Zealand legal system. The largest ever survey of lawyers on 'access to justice' in Aotearoa New Zealand shows the legal aid system is on life support. Thousands are struggling to get legal aid, with potential life-changing consequences when they don't, and Covid-19 has greatly aggravated the problem. (From the report and website). Record #7364
