New Zealand Law Society - Current law reform work
One of the Law Society's most valued roles is to provide an informed and reasoned voice for lawyers and for the public on bills referred to select committee and discussion papers from government agencies and other bodies. Read below for our current work.
The Government has announced that it is consulting on a draft proposal to simplify local government, which would involve the replacement of regional councillors by a new governing body. The Law Society’s Public Law Committee and Environmental Law Committee are reviewing the draft proposal and will make a submission. To contribute comments, please email Claire Browning.
