AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND

The ICON•S Australia and New Zealand Chapter is a forum for interdisciplinary debate on public law and a bridge between Australian and New Zealand scholarship and the international academy.

ABOUT

The Chapter has over 100 members from across Australia and New Zealand. Its executive committee includes Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and Māori representatives and early-career representatives, and the Chapter supports the work and training of early-career scholars and students and encourages dialogue with scholars from diverse legal traditions.

Activities

The Chapter holds a conference for the public law community of Australia and New Zealand, hosted by universities in both countries, and an occasional online series, the Zoom Café. Its Constitutional Theory Group, convened by Andrea Dolcetti, Ignacio Giuffré, and Ron Levy, holds a biennial conference.
