Practice Resource Search
Resources to support you in your legal practice
The Society’s new practice resource search will help you find websites, articles, webinars, podcasts, videos and more to support you in your legal practice. We’ll update this search often so you find relevant, updated and useful resources.
Are you seeking a specific practice resource? Connect with our Legal Services Support team at lss@nsbs.org.
Please note that many resources are links to external websites and will open up a new tab in your browser.
