TIM COCHRANE AND REBECCA THOMSON
Publishing a journal is easily likened to giving birth - a nine month
labour of love resulting in a brand new and beautiful creation. A less
obvious simile is attending high school. Reading new submissions is as
exciting as the first day of school. The networks of academics and
students who have contributed their critical insights could be imagined
chattering in a linoleum-floored cafeteria. The cast of editors, review
board members and authors changes with the years just like the
graduating Seventh Form class.
Where this metaphor breaks down is in the cliques which form and the
angry words which are so often heard in high school corridors. As Co-
Editors this year we have been privileged enough to work with the
most dedicated, cheerful and enthusiastic Chief Editorial Board one
could wish for. Our thanks go also to the newly instituted Regional
Representatives whose work in raising our national profile was seen in
the flood of submissions received. Finally, the Student and Academic
Review Board members, who gave their time so willingly to winnow
out the nine articles which are published here, deserve a hearty round
of applause.
Further applause is due to the New Zealand Law Students' Journal
(NZLSJ) itself, which last year became the longest running nationwide
academic journal publishing exclusively law students' work. Its role in
giving New Zealand's brightest young legal minds a platform from
which to showcase their talents ought not be underestimated. This year
the New Zealand Law Students' Association has recognised the value
of the NZLSJ through generous financial contributions.
Last but not least thanks are due to all who submitted to the Journal
this year. The quality of your work and the difficulty of narrowing the
scores of submissions received to just nine bear testament to the high
standard of New Zealand law faculties today.

Co-Editors
