Web watch: NSW Courts and Tribunal Services

Mon Feb 27 2012

NSW Courts and Tribunal Services have launched a new website, www.courts.lawlink.nsw.gov.au The new website will help court users resolve enquires more efficiently, without the need to attend a registry. It provides comprehensive, up-to-date and user-friendly information about courts and tribunals, the court process and alternative dispute resolution options. It also provides the public with information on how to obtain free legal advice and links to other support service websites.

For legal professionals and litigant organisations the website provides links to all courts and tribunal websites and quick links to frequently accessed information such as forms and fees, publications and CaseLaw.

The site incorporates the Online Court List launched in early 2011, enabling people to check court listing details online at a time that suits them, 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week, from anywhere in the world.

The website has also absorbed the former website of the Office of the Sheriff, contains more extensive information for about jury service and offers the new tool ‘Jury Attendance Lists’ which allows jurors to check the website from 5pm each day to confirm if they are required for jury service the following day. The online Jury Attendance Lists tool provides jurors with an alternative option to calling the 1300 pre-recorded phone message service.

This new website is just one of the upcoming online services we have created in order to offer court users alternative ways to interact with the courts. More websites will be launched over the coming months.
