Colovic: Rule of Law Under Threat, Lawyers Need Support

0:00It's March 30th. This is Adelaide News Today, driven by AI. David Kolovic, the new president of the Law Society of South Australia, is urging lawyers to stand firm for the rule of law. He says it's under real threat from a destabilized world and fraying social bonds. With over 30 years in law, specializing in insolvency, Kolovic kicked off his one-year term in January. He's pushing the state government hard to fix crumbling court buildings like the Samuel Way facility. Right now, major criminal trials in the Supreme Court spill over into district court rooms there, creating backups into lays and justice that nobody needs. Lawyers are feeling the strain too, from instant emails replacing old letters, juggling too many demands and building stress. Kolovic wants resources to boost well-being, so practitioners stay sharp and healthy. On top of that, he's focusing on ethical AI use for things like document reviews, tackling new anti-money laundering rules and keeping top young.
