The Immigration and Refugee Law Committee is made up of experienced practitioners who work in immigration law focussed firms or sole practice. The Committee keeps a watching brief on all issues regarding immigration and refugee law and regularly raises issues with the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, Immigration NZ, the Immigration Protection Tribunal and the Ministry of Justice. The Committee also engages with the Minister of Immigration and other key stakeholders in the immigration space.
The Committee advocates for fair and inclusive immigration policies and engages with law reform initiatives. The Committee supports access to justice for all individuals navigating the immigration system.
Enhancing knowledge and expertise within the practice is a constant priority, and it is important to the committee that legal professionals within the discipline are supported through the continued professional development opportunities.
