Environmental Lawyers team member is RMLA Scholarship recipient!
The Environmental Lawyers want to congratulate our solicitor Rebekah Hill for being awarded the 2022 Resource Management Law Association (RMLA) Scholarship to pursue her Master of Laws in Global Environment and Climate Change Law at the University of Edinburgh! The RMLA gives an annual scholarship designed to encourage graduate students to focus their research theses or dissertations on topics related to the application of resource management in New Zealand.
Her proposed dissertation relates to the potential for Tikanga Māori to strengthen Aotearoa New Zealand’s legislated environmental limits. Rebekah describes her research as exploring recent case law including the Supreme Court’s decision in Trans-Tasman Resources Limited and in particular in the context of RMA reform and the proposed environmental limits.
We are very proud of Rebekah’s achievements and look forward to seeing how this rising star will progress in her already exciting career. Well done Rebekah!
