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.
This Member’s Bill, which seeks to give the mayor and elected councilors the “mandate to more effectively govern and control the activities of their local authority” has been referred to the Governance and Administration Select Committee. The Law Society’s Public Law Committee will consider making a submission; to contribute comments, please email Nilu Ariyaratne.
