To be confirmed
Crown Law provides legal advice
and representation services to the
government in matters affecting the
executive government, particularly
in the areas of criminal, public and
administrative law. The services
provided include such matters
as judicial review of government
actions, constitutional questions
including Treaty of Waitangi issues,
the enforcement of criminal law, and
protection of the revenue.
Crown Law administers the
prosecution process in the criminal
justice system, in particular, trials
on indictment before juries.
Crown Law has two primary
purposes in providing these
services:
•
•
To ensure that the operations and
responsibilities of the executive
government are conducted
lawfully, and
•
•
To ensure that the government
is not prevented, through the
legal process, from lawfully
implementing its chosen policies
and discharging its governmental
responsibilities.
