The New Zealand Council of Legal Education has promulgated regulations making tikanga Māori a compulsory subject for law students and requiring tikanga to be infused into all the other compulsory subjects (contracts, tort, crimes, etc.) I made a complaint to Parliament’s Regulation Review Committee. I have asked that a resolution be moved that the House of Representatives disallow the regulations. The Committee is considering my complaint. It asked for submissions from the NZCLE and the New Zealand Law Society. On 3 June, I lodged a supplementary submission to the Committee. This is what it said.
