Who can help if you need to go to court?
👩🏼⚖️ If you have been charged with a criminal offence and have to go to court, you can get help from a duty lawyer. A duty lawyer is a lawyer who is available at court to help you if you have been charged with an offence and do not have a lawyer to represent you in court. They are available to you just for your first day in court.
To see the duty lawyer ask at the court reception. There are also other options such as Community Law and applying for Legal Aid.
More information about duty lawyers can be found on the Ministry of Justice website: www.justice.govt.nz...
