  • Women Trailblazers in the Law: the New Zealand Women Judges Oral Histories Project
    407 WOMEN TRAILBLAZERS IN THE LAW: THE NEW ZEALAND WOMEN JUDGES ORAL HISTORIES PROJECT Elizabeth Chan* The New Zealand Women Judges Oral Histories Project aims to provide the first national, publicly accessible records of the lives and careers of trailblazing women judges. As part of this project, this article shares the stories of nine women judges who have broken gender barriers at every stage of their legal studies and careers, including as the first women law graduates, partners of law firms, Queen's Counsel and judges. In sharing the challenges faced by, and celebrating the successes of, these women judges, their individual stories give context to the statistics showing that women's participation at the highest levels of the legal profession remains the exception rather than the norm. It is hoped that the achievements of the women who have gone before will inspire today's young women to reach positions of leadership in the profession, and, more broadly, to strive for equality in both their personal and professional lives. I INTRODUCTION In 2003, Philip Girard wrote that in "Australia, New Zealand and Canada, the writing of judicial biography has been a somewhat halting and sporadic enterprise".1 In the past four years, the New Zealand Women Judges Oral Histories Project (Oral Histories Project) has made a systematic effort to record the life histories of 18 of New Zealand's women trailblazers in the judiciary. Drawing on the oral history interviews completed to date, this article shares the stories of nine women judges * Elizabeth Chan, LLM candidate (Yale Law School), LLB (Hons), BA (University of Auckland).

  • Godard Letter to HA Committee
    Written evidence submitted by Hon Dame Lowell Goddard QC Independent Inquiry into Institutional Child Sexual Abuse I make this memorandum available to the House of Commons Home Affairs Select Committee in response to Mr Vaz's letter of 5 August and his and my subsequent exchange of letters of 31 August. I request that this memorandum be placed before the full Committee. In it I have set out for the Committee's consideration the responses Mr Vaz specifically sought and have also included a brief outline of what I see as various critical issues facing the Inquiry. This I do for the purpose of assisting the Inquiry in the future. I commence by briefly traversing the history of the Inquiry in its various iterations. A brief history and the early legacy As you are aware, the Inquiry was first established in July 2014 as a non- statutory Inquiry. I understand this was in the interests of getting it up and running as quickly as possible. It was however contemplated that the Government could move to have it reconstituted as a statutory Inquiry under the Inquiries Act 2005, if the Chair thought that were necessary. It is a matter of history that two Chairs were briefly appointed, the first in July 2014 and the second in October 2014. In conjunction with the second appointment, broad ranging terms of reference were promulgated and 8 Panel members appointed, together with Counsel to the Inquiry, Ben Emmerson QC, and an expert adviser. It is unnecessary now to traverse that early history in any detail, except to note there were reports of difficulties within the Inquiry Panel, as well as conflicting political views over its composition in the wider victim and survivor communities.

  • An Analysis of Legal and Political Influence on the Form and Nature of Post-2005 Public Inquiries and Their Significance
    AN ANALYSIS OF LEGAL AND POLITICAL INFLUENCE ON THE FORM AND NATURE OF POST-2005 PUBLIC INQUIRIES AND THEIR SIGNIFICANCE EMMA IRETON A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Nottingham Trent University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2020 1 The copyright in this work is held by the author. You may copy up to 5% of this work for private study, or personal, non-commercial research. Any re-use of the information contained within this document should be fully referenced, quoting the author, title, university, degree level and pagination. Queries or requests for any other use, or if a more substantial copy is required, should be directed to the author. 2 Abstract Public inquiries are major instruments of accountability, convened to address matters of public concern. Every time a new inquiry is convened, decisions are made by government ministers and inquiry chairs to determine their form and nature, which in turn affect their independence, powers, subject matter, and openness to public scrutiny. This research is a systematic, library-based analysis of: witness evidence to the 2013-14 House of Lords Select Committee on the Inquiries Act on the law and practice of public inquiries, legislation, case law and other documentary sources to observe, in practice, what political and legal influence is being exerted on the form and nature of public inquiries, by whom, and to what effect. The research uses a mixed-method approach of inductive analysis and critical examination of secondary data; doctrinal legal research; and broader desk-based research. The research found that attempts by parliamentary committees to reform the decision- making process have been largely unsuccessful, with successive governments rejecting attempts to restrict the power of the minister.
