If you’ve ever needed quick, free legal information, chances are you’ve read The Community Law Manual. The panel discussion will explore the role of The Community Law Manual as a resource for social justice and empowering the most vulnerable in society to know their rights within the law. Over a million people access The Manual online every year. Service providers all around the country rely on it as the most trusted legal resource of its kind. But what if it didn't exist?
Free event
Thursday, 5 July, 2018
5:30pm to 6:30pm
Te Ahumairangi (ground floor), National Library, corner Molesworth and Aitken Streets, Thorndon
Unique resource
The Community Law Manual is a unique resource that is:
free
written in accessible language, and
targeted at those least likely to have access to legal services.
Conversation with past and present editors
Together with past and present editors, we will look at the evolution of the Community Law Manual from its early days as a simple ring-bound legal reference, to a comprehensive book over 1000-pages long that is updated and improved.
It is an opportunity to celebrate The Manual, to chart a course into the future, and to discuss the contribution of grassroots publishing to social justice.
