The 3rd of September 2019 marked 150 years since the genesis of the New Zealand Law Society. As part of the commemorations, Special Court Sittings were held across Aotearoa, which presented our Hunga with opportunities to reflect on the changes wrought over the past 150 years and to look to the future.
As intended, our kōrero has had an impact on our wider legal community.
Thank you to all of our kaikōrero who stood to speak on behalf of the Hunga, as well as Maia Wikaira as organiser. Kei te mihi ki a koutou.
