New Zealand Justice Forum

The New Zealand Justice Forum aims to pool the collective experiences of our citizens, lawyers, and academics in order to discuss the many defects that weaken the integrity of the legal system. Corruption amongst politicians and judiciary is one deficiency that affects our international reputation. When you consider a corrupt politician or judge, you may think of one who trades rulings or favours for cash, as far as we know, that sort of corruption is rare in NZ, but corruption may take subtle but equally destructive forms. A dishonest judge can ignore evidence, twist rules and procedure, manufacture facts or ignore others. Many judges allow illegitimate claims while dismissing valid ones by ignoring evidence, mischaracterising pleadings, and misapplying the law. When a judge does these things intentionally, he or she commits a crime. Petty or grand, the acts are still crimes and it takes surprisingly little to “steer” a case. This forum aims to encourage members to post their individual case files, thereby providing transparent evaluation of the decision making process.

We are currently collecting forum links to New Zealand support networks, indymedia & legal websites to provide  online "users of the justice system" with media and legal resources at http://newzealandjustice.com/
