Rule of Law Committee

The Rule of Law Committee was established in 2007, to monitor and respond to rule of law issues and to assist the legal profession in meeting its fundamental obligation to uphold the rule of law (as set out in s4(a) of the Lawyers and Conveyancers Act 2006). The Committee is actively involved in monitoring the rule of law in New Zealand and overseas, and its work demonstrates the Law Society’s strong commitment to the rule of law.

The Convener is appointed by the NZLS Board and members are appointed by the NZLS President.
