Law Reform Committee

The Law Reform Committee oversees all of the Law Society’s law reform work. The LRC reviews all Bills before Parliament, as well as government agency and Law Commission law reform proposals. Members of the LRC draft the Law Society’s submissions on Bills and discussion papers, with assistance from the specialist committees and the Property Law and Family Law Sections.

The LRC comprises members with a passion for law reform work, augmented by the convener of each specialist committee, the NZLS nominees on the Rules Committee, and a representative of the sections. The LRC Convener is appointed by the NZLS Board and members are appointed by the NZLS President.
