Review of the Legal Services Directions issues paper - 2004

Responses closed 30 April 2004

The Legal Services Directions (the Directions) are made by the Attorney-General under section 55ZF of the Judiciary Act 1903.

The Directions set out the requirements for the performance of Commonwealth legal services, in particular the conduct of litigation by Commonwealth agencies.  They provide the framework under which agencies have freedom to choose how they wish to obtain and use legal services and are accountable for their choices.
