New online commentary on ethics and the lawyer
An online book that explores the ethical and professional issues that lawyers face has recently been published by LexisNexis, with contributions from Senior Lecturer Dr Grant Morris and alumna Horiana Irwin-Easthope.
“Professional Responsibility in New Zealand” is edited by Dr Matthew Palmer QC, Victoria alumnus and former Pro Vice-Chancellor and Dean of Law, who was recently appointed a Judge of the High Court in Auckland.
Dr Morris’ chapter looks at the history of the New Zealand legal profession, an area that taps his research into the development of New Zealand’s legal profession.
Horiana Irwin-Easthope, who now works at Kahui Legal, provides a contextual chapter on Tikanga Māori.
The book features contributions from 24 practitioners and scholars and includes annotated legislation, topic-based commentary on issues outside of the relevant legislation, and updates on important case law.
