A free
Legal Update service linked to the Voluntary Sector Legal

This is an incredibly useful free resource, compiled by Consultant
and Trainer Sandy Adirondack, (author of Just About Managing
and co-author of the Voluntary Sector Legal Handbook). It
can be used on its own, but is best as an add-on and update
to the information contained in the Voluntary Sector Legal
Handbook. You can request email alerts to changes.
