Legal Information Service (LIS) Inc. is a not-for-profit organisation established to make accessible in plain language people’s rights and entitlements under New Zealand Law. It was incorporated in 1981.

LIS does not directly provide legal advice or services.

We research, collate and publish vital welfare and social law information for people in need or who are working for the welfare of others.

The Legal Resource Manual, our key publication, is constantly updated as laws change.
