Centre for New Zealand Jurisprudence

The mission of the Centre for New Zealand Jurisprudence is to foster legal research, with a particular emphasis on the development of a multidisciplinary and contextual New Zealand jurisprudence. The Centre endeavours to support projects promoting the understanding of law in the international, national, and bicultural contexts. Through this research the Centre will contribute to legal education, legal reform, and the professional practice of law. In particular, the Centre may conduct or commission research. The Centre hosts visiting scholars, organises a regular seminar series, and publishes the refereed Yearbook of New Zealand Jurisprudence annually. The Centre from time to time hosts conferences and colloquia and publishes monographs of those proceedings, lectures or other topics of interest.
