Brief Synopsis: Problems in meetings are commonly experienced by chairpersons and members of various societies. The sell-out, self-published, first edition of Members’ Meetings gave those faced with the practical issues of running formal meetings enough guidance to proceed with confidence.
LexisNexis is proud to present this second edition of Members’ Meetings which expands on and brings up to date some areas, such as Model Standing Orders. It was also updated to incorporate Local Government Acts amendments in 2004.
Chapter 12 on conflicts of interest, bias and predetermination is a key new feature of this edition.
The ‘Handy Reference’ on the back cover and the pull out on meeting procedure are designed for easy reference during meetings, and the compact size of the book makes it easy to carry around.
Members’ Meetings, Second Edition offers a user’s guide to running or participating in meetings and is all you need to know about New Zealand meeting procedures.

Brief Synopsis:: Psychiatry and the Law is the first major new work on the high-profile area of forensic psychiatry and law in Australia and New Zealand in over a decade. In this time the medico-legal landscape has altered dramatically with far-reaching changes in legislation and case law, and in the procedures for regulating the behaviours of mentally impaired offenders, including:
- fitness to plead;
- insanity;
- sentencing;
- disposition; and
- services for mentally abnormal offenders.
This book also discusses the evolving models of clinical management and risk assessment; and the changing professional perceptions of the relationship between mental disorder and violence. Psychiatry and the Law is edited by University of Auckland Law Professor, Warren Brookbanks and Dr Sandy Simpson, Auckland University Honorary Clinical Associate Professor of Forensic Psychiatry and Director of Auckland’s Mason clinic. They lead a team of highly-acclaimed and knowledgeable authors drawn from academic and the practising professions.
Written for use by lawyers, clinicians and students of forensic psychiatry and law, this book canvasses this sometimes highly-controversial area of legal and clinical practice in a thoroughly practical manner, informed by an interdisciplinary perspective.

Brief Synopsis:: This title is the third in a series of recent titles produced by LexisNexis of conference proceedings held by the Legal Research Foundation, New Zealand’s foremost independent legal research body, examining the changing underpinnings of legal method. What is the role of the Courts in influencing or changing social policy? These essays from a successful Legal Research Foundation conference held in August 2005 examine the way in which individuals and groups resort to litigation, whether in the Courts or in tribunals, for the recognition of legal rights and the enforcement of public legal obligations. Public Interest Litigation provides a resource for analysing current trends in New Zealand law and the continuing need for the recognition and application of international law standards in the light of the experience of other common law jurisdictions. Although argued and decided in the context of a constitutional apparatus, there is no reason to doubt that in New Zealand as elsewhere the Courts will increasingly be drawn into the determination of issues that in times past were regarded as “out of bounds”. For those wishing to expand the area of public interest litigation in New Zealand, this book provides fertile soil for their endeavours.
