The Law and Justice Foundation of NSW has released another paper in its Updating Justice series. THe paper summarises findings from the Legal Australia - Wide Survey) (LAW Survey) about use of advisers for legal problems in NSW. What people in NSW do about legal problems, including what, if any, advisers and legal advisers they use, how they source main advisers, and what barriers to using legal advisers they experience are discussed. The LAW Survey found that NSW respondents sought formal advice from a lawyer for only a minority (16%) of legal problems. Implications of these findings are discussed.
