Legal Aid Services has been working with the New Zealand Law Society and the Auckland District Law Society to improve access to justice for refugee and protected persons involved in Warrant of Commitment (WOC) proceedings.
The purpose of the roster is to enable the Duty Lawyer Supervisor to contact a provider with relevant experience, approval and capacity to represent new clients responding to an application for a WOC. The roster will be renewed periodically as and when required.
This roster can also be accessed directly via https://www.justice.govt.nz/about/lawyers-and-service-providers/legal-aid-lawyers/warrant-of-commitment-roster/
