To celebrate this significant occasion a special evening event was organised where women judges of the Māori Land Court and the District Court talked to Māori women practitioners about their career paths and how they became judges. The practitioners were given a chance to mingle with the judges, to ask questions of them and, just as importantly, to form connections with other women lawyers.

Māori Land Update –
Ngā Āhuatanga o te whenua
June 2025 | Hune 2025
This update is issued by the Office of the Chief Registrar, Māori Land Court | Te Kooti Whenua Māori
to provide key statistics on Māori land, including the number and total area of Māori Customary Land
(MCL) and Māori Freehold Land (MFL) blocks, and how many of these are managed by trusts or
incorporations versus those that are not.
This is also a good opportunity to review the way
your trust keeps and provides information.
How can I find out more?
If you have further questions, contact a Māori Land Court office.
There is significant variation in how district registry offices maintained trust files with some
filing applications regarding trusts in separate sequences.

How this resource can help

The Māori Land Court is conducting an inquiry to establish the successors to SILNA lands pursuant to Section 29, Te
Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 in accordance with an application filled by the Minister of Māori Affairs, currently under
application A20180009373.
So, my first message today is to not worry too much about set-backs in your career – they are inevitable. It is how you respond to those set-backs that matters.
