New Zealand Law Society Committees
NZLS Board | NZLS Council | Special Committees | Ad Hoc Committees
NZLS committees cover a wide range of areas of substantive law and practice, society functions, and other issues of importance to the profession.
The committees help the Society discharge its statutory functions of:
- Promoting the interests of the legal profession and the interests of the public in relation to legal matters.
- Promoting and encouraging proper conduct among the members of the legal profession.
- Preserving and maintaining the integrity and status of the legal profession.
- Promoting opportunities for the acquisition and diffusion of legal knowledge.
- Assisting in and promoting the reform of the law.
Committees are of two types: Special Committees are appointed annually by the Society's Board and deal with many issues within their terms of reference; Ad Hoc Committees are appointed to address single issues and are disbanded once their objectives have been met.
