22/03/2013

The president of the Law Council of Australia, Mr Joseph Catanzariti, opened the National Access to Justice and Pro Bono Conference in Melbourne yesterday morning. In his address, Mr Catanzariti warned that: "For all the statistics, economic modelling and warnings from the legal profession, the issue of underfunding and under resourcing in the justice system continues and the result is restricted access to justice and serious impacts on the enforcement and protection of legal rights." The LCA president also singled out increasing court filing fees as a particular cause for concern. Learn more here.
