The role of the court in law reform is, "to interpret the laws made by the parliament". Courts can shape the law and reform it. Setting new precedents in the cases that come before them can be done by judges using the rules of common law. Courts often prompt the consideration of change by parliament or by regulatory bodies.
The role of the parliament in law reform is, the legislature or the main lawmaking body. Another operation is to pass amendments to already existing laws. So in saying this, parliament plays a very large and important part in reforming the law. The policies and laws held by the part in government at that time is the reflection of the parliamentry reform of law.
The role of the NSW Law Reform Commission is to investigate, review and advise on the reform of the law in New South Wales. Other roles also include consolidating overlapping legislation, which inturn simplifies the law. Law reform commissions are independant of the parliament that established them which is an essential feature in any commission. The NSW law reform commission was the first of its kind in Australia.
Four of the current projects that the NSW Law Reform Commission is working on are:
*Criminal appeals
*Encouraging appropriate early guilt pleas
*Parole
*Statutory provisions on dispute resolution
