Public Solicitor’s Office creates new division

An office that has been in operation for almost 60 years, Public Solicitor Jim Wala Tamate says the creation of the Family Law and Special projects division was done due to the demand of legal aid services on the office.  

These services have been previously provided under general civil cases but with the creation of the new division, a specialised team will deal directly with family law issues.
