flag New Zealand launches AI-powered legal support for self-represented litigants to reduce the justice gap.

flag New Zealand has launched a new Litigation Support Services initiative to help self-represented litigants, especially in civil and family cases where over 70% lack legal representation. flag Led by Stephen Taylor, a self-represented litigant and legal studies student, the program offers AI-powered legal tools, plain-language resources, free advice, and nationwide outreach centers. flag It supports individuals through step-by-step guidance, workshops, and Family Court navigators. flag Reforms include simplified court processes, updated legal aid thresholds, expanded advisory services, and fully funded mediation starting July 2025. flag The effort aims to close the "justice canyon" for those too poor for private lawyers but ineligible for legal aid.
