Judge Clark spoke at the Hamilton launch and Chief Judge Isaac spoke at the Wellington launch. The Māori and Indigenous Governance Centre has been established to fill a gap by providing research-led solutions that are practical, effective and culturally relevant for improving governance and leadership among Māori organisations.
This was briefly mentioned in Chief Judge Wilson Isaac’s contribution to this forum. Background Today, owners their whanau and hapu, the Māori Land Court staff and its judges have inherited a system of Māori land title that many have claimed to be inconsistent with Māori customary preferences.
Five out of the thirteen judges on the bench are women – Chief Judge Isaac has recently noted that such a gender balance does not exist on any other Court bench in New Zealand outside of the Supreme Court.
Firstly, we would like to acknowledge the contributions of Professor Richard Boast QC for his historical narrative; Dr Judith Pryor, who compiled the contemporary sections of this publication; and His Honour, Māori Land Court Chief Judge Wilson Isaac for his guidance and support of this project.
