Useful English sites

www.lawsociety.org.uk
The Law Society's site. This is a useful starting point (especially if you are interested in qualifying as an English solicitor).

www.venables.co.uk
Delia Venables' site is an awesome resource. It contains almost every form of British legal contact/information you might want.

www.open.gov.uk/lcd/lcdhome.htm
The Lord Chancellor's Department's site. England has no Justice Department or Department of The Courts. The Lord Chancellor (presently Lord Irvine) is charged with the administration of the judicial system. The LCD site contains information on the Courts/Judges/Woolf Reforms/Civil Procedure Rules. The last two subjects are essential reading if you intend to work in litigation in England.

www.thisislondon.com
The Evening Standard's site. The ES is London's evening newspaper. As well as carrying the stories of the day this site is a mine of news about what is going on in London (entertainment/fashion/jobs/accommodation).

www.the-times.co.uk
The Times' site is not as comprehensive as the ES site, but still provides a lot of information that will be useful to you before you leave New Zealand.

Useful New Zealand sites
