History and Background of the Society
The New Zealand Lawyers' Society is an informal body which was established in March 1993 to promote the interests of New Zealand law and lawyers in England. We have a membership of approximately 300-400, comprising solicitors, barristers, academics, corporate, banking and business lawyers, and students. The Lawtalk report of our inaugural meeting gives more background as to the formation of the Society.
The 2016 Hamlyn lectures will be delivered by Dame Sian Elias, Chief Justice of New Zealand. You are warmly welcomed to attend. There are three lectures, the first two of which are in Cardiff and Exeter, the last in London. The theme will be Golden Threads and Pragmatic Patches: Fairness in Criminal Justice . Full details of the lectures – and how to register (no charge) – may be seen at https://socialsciences.exeter.ac.uk/law/hamlyn/lectures/
