Beware of an increase in scam attempts by phone and email targeting lawyers. Read our guidance about email scams and how to recognise them.
The Criminal Law Committee has practitioners from all sides of the criminal bar. It considers and makes recommendations on all issues touching on the administration of criminal justice.
The NZLS Criminal Law Committee (CLC), established in 1989, actively monitors and comments on proposed reforms of the criminal law and on the administration of criminal justice.
Chris Macklin is the convenor of the Criminal Law Committee, and a Nelson-based barrister. Formerly a Senior Crown Prosecutor with Gordon & Pilditch, he has appeared across the full range of criminal litigation, including appeals. He has also conducted regulatory prosecutions, most often under the Civil Aviation and Resource Management Acts. His experience includes civil litigation in the High and District Courts, including the civil recovery of proceeds of crime.
