You are subscribed to Law Library: News & Events from the Library of Congress. Join visiting scholar, librarian, and American Association of Law Libraries Schaffer Grant recipient, Theresa Buller on July 16, at 2:00 p.m. EDT for a Foreign and Comparative Law Webinar. This series of classes is designed to shed light on some of the foreign and comparative law issues currently being researched by the foreign law and international law experts at the Law Library of Congress. New Zealand's constitution is not found in a single constitutional document; it is one of only six countries without a formal written constitution. Instead, the sources of New Zealand law reflect New Zealand's history as a British colony, dominion and independent nation, as well as the New Zealand Supreme Court's acknowledgement in R v Ellis that tikanga Māori (Māori law and custom) is part of the common law of New Zealand. This webinar will discuss the sources of New Zealand law, the decision in R v Ellis, and the integration of tikanga teaching into a New Zealand undergraduate LLB. Register here.
