It was launched by the President of the Law Society, Mr John North on 8 March 2000. Powered by SEEK, Australia's leading online employment service, Law Society Online Jobs is a quick, cheap and efficient method of either searching for jobs or placing job advertisements for legal staff. Job seekers can search the site and elect to receive emails about positions that suit their requirements. Applications can be made quickly by email and job seekers can keep track of the applications they have sent. There is also a Career Resources section which has articles about items of employment interest.
Firms can place advertisements either themselves or through their employment consultant.
The text of ads can be changed at any time. A new FAQ bulletin for family lawyers has been released. The bulletin covers some of the major GST issues relevant to family law practitioners. There are two seminar papers that have been delivered at Young Lawyers seminars which may also be useful for family law practitioners. The latest statistics about the NSW legal profession are now available.
