Published five years after Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 Māori Land Law was welcomed by the community of practitioners and students for providing an overview and commentary on the working of the Māori Land Court. Together with chapters traversing the nature and evolution of Māori customary law and land tenure, analysis of intricate trust structures and leases, and the relationship between the Act and Treaty of Waitangi, this book quickly found its niche.
