Māori judges were definitely a scarce commodity, however I spent a couple of years practising in Henderson when Judge Mick Brown was still sitting as a judge. Mick was a pioneer for many of the initiatives we now see in the Youth Justice area – restorative justice, and court sittings on marae – and a real character in the courtroom.
A primary function of succession for Māori is to maintain whakapapa connections
to their whenua (land), whānau(family), tupuna (ancestors) and atua (gods).
