The New Zealand LawSociety is the parent body for barristers and solicitors in New Zealand . It was established in 1869, and regulates all lawyers practising in New Zealand . Membership of the Society is voluntary, although any person wishing to practice law in New Zealand must obtain a practising certificate from the Society. Previously, legislation provided for 14 district law societies with their own statutory powers, operating in a federal structure with the New Zealand LawSociety. The Lawyers and Conveyancers Act provides that district law societies must decide, within 6 months of the Act coming into force, whether to incorporate. The preferred option often referred to as the one society model is for districts to fold into the New Zealand LawSociety and to operate as its branches. All District Law Societies except the Auckland District LawSociety have so far agreed to the one society model.
