The Mullahs of Mumbo-jumbo advance the cause of racist superiority
The New Zealand Law Society (NZLS), in partnership with its provider of continuing education is advertising “
Tikanga and the law”. Interestingly enough, in a Freudian slip, the advertisement betrays the reality, that tikanga is not law. It says, “hear firsthand perspectives from those working at the intersection of tikanga and the law.”
The advertisement treats tikanga as something distinct from law while promoting its use in lawyers’ professional and ethical decision-making. It forms part of a wider NZLS programme that risks turning ideological precepts into professional obligations.
