Because traditionally, the various systems of law in operation in Australia have meant that it is necessary to divide the legal profession into state based groups and this has actually led to a lot of duplication in legal work accross the states and led to rising legal costs for clients of the legal system, there has been a drive in Australia towards a national system for the legal profession. Billls have been introduced into federal parliament on a number of occastions in this vain and at present there is strong drive towards the nationalisation of the legal profession in Australia although it has at this point not reached the point of becoming law. This will mean that in the future people will be more likely to seek out legal advice on te basis of issues with w national coverage. Lawyers will have greater scope to practice accross the various states of Australia and service clients in different parts of the country and with national and international businesses.
