About the NZ Journal of Environmental Law

The New Zealand Journal of Environmental Law (NZJEL) was founded in 1997 with the assistance of the New Zealand Law Foundation and Auckland Law School.

The Journal is in the format of a University law review and is the only academic publication of its kind in New Zealand. It is intended to provide an outlet for longer analytical and comparative legal writing in the environmental and natural resources law area. In addition to articles, there are sections for case-notes, legislation notes, book reviews and a forum.

The University of Auckland library has the full text of the NZJEL (1997-2017) available to staff and students logged in to the University of Auckland website:

 New Zealand Journal of Environmental Law.

Since its inception the Journal has achieved a wide circulation amongst University law schools, law firms, central and local government agencies, courts, and other local and international organisations with an interest in environmental and resource management law.

The General Editors of the NZJEL are currently Professor David Grinlinton and Dr Kenneth Palmer of the Auckland Law School at the University of Auckland, with an editorial committee drawn from the Faculty, the School of Architecture and Planning and the profession.
