With 24&nbsp;centres&nbsp;reaching over 120 outreach locations, CLCA is deeply embedded in&nbsp;our&nbsp;communities. Its mission, rooted in its proud history and&nbsp;kaupapa, is to empower individuals to navigate the legal system regardless of their circumstances&nbsp;with free legal support.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since&nbsp;2023, Thomson Reuters&nbsp;has supported&nbsp;all Community Law&nbsp;Centres&nbsp;with&nbsp;their legal research needs through&nbsp;complimentary access to Westlaw New Zealand for all&nbsp;the&nbsp;staff&nbsp;at each&nbsp;centre.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We are incredibly proud of the&nbsp;partnership between&nbsp;Thomson Reuters&nbsp;and Community Law&nbsp;Centres&nbsp;Aotearoa.&nbsp;We share a fundamental value of &#8216;legal access for all&#8217;&nbsp;and it&#8217;s incredibly rewarding to see how our robust legal research tools, now further enhanced by AI-Assisted Research,&nbsp;empower&nbsp;each&nbsp;centre&nbsp;to make such a significant difference in communities across New Zealand.&#8221; <br>Matthew&nbsp;Heaphy,&nbsp;Head&nbsp;of New Zealand&nbsp;Legal Business, Thomson Reuters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each year,&nbsp;the Community Law&nbsp;Centres&nbsp;assist&nbsp;approximately 50,000 clients and&nbsp;provide&nbsp;free legal education to 30,000 people. Their website receives 5,000 visits daily,&nbsp;demonstrating&nbsp;the critical need for their services&nbsp;and access to free legal information. With a team of 250 dedicated staff, including lawyers, caseworkers, and administrators, Community Law&nbsp;Centres&nbsp;are on the front lines, ensuring that legal information and&nbsp;assistance&nbsp;are not just privileges, but fundamental rights accessible to all New Zealanders.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Challenge: Navigating a Complex Legal Landscape&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Community Law&nbsp;Centres, the ability to provide&nbsp;accurate, up-to-date, and comprehensive legal advice is paramount. Their clients face&nbsp;a vast&nbsp;range of&nbsp;legal issues, and the&nbsp;Centres&nbsp;operate&nbsp;with limited resources. Staying abreast of constantly evolving legislation, case law, and legal precedents&nbsp;in multiple legal areas&nbsp;is a significant challenge. Without reliable access to a vast and current legal library, the efficiency and effectiveness of their services could be severely hampered, directly&nbsp;impacting&nbsp;their capacity to serve the community. The sheer volume of legal information and the need to quickly and confidently respond to diverse client needs underscore the critical importance of robust legal research tools.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Solution: Westlaw New Zealand \u2013 An Indispensable Partner&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Westlaw New Zealand has&nbsp;emerged&nbsp;as an indispensable partner for Community Law&nbsp;Centres&nbsp;Aotearoa, providing the essential legal research platform they need to fulfil their mission.
