Associate Professor Amokura Kawharu to head Law Commission
The New Zealand Bar Association congratulates Associate Professor Amokura Kawharu on her appointment as Law Commission President. Professor Kawharu will take up her new role on 11 May 2020.
NZBA President, Kate Davenport QC, notes the importance of the role of the Law Commission in reviewing the law of New Zealand and suggesting needed reforms. “Not only do the Commission’s reports pave the way for new and better legislation, but it also informs practitioners in their work before the courts. This is a critical post and Professor Kawharu is well placed to lead the Commission in the future.”
