AI-generated complaints. Rising elder fraud. Complex family structures. Aged care costs that can derail even careful planning.

In this interview, Theresa Donnelly, Head of Legal at Perpetual Guardian, explores why Elder Law in New Zealand is becoming more complex - and more consequential. She also highlights why reliable legal AI tools, such as Protégé™, are crucial for keeping pace with a rapidly changing world safely and confidently.

The 2026 campus Paper Presentation season has wrapped up on a high.

On Wednesday 3 June, AUT Law Students' Society (AUTLSS) hosted its LexisNexis Paper Presentation Final — the final campus competition of the year — with two outstanding finalists competing for the opportunity to represent AUT on the national and international stage.

After a compelling first round, the evening came down to:

Anne Kitt — “Opening the Door on Family Violence: Aligning Civil Protection Orders with the State’s Protective Role”

David Kim — “Duty to Rescue in New Zealand”

Both finalists impressed the judges with their ability to distil complex legal scholarship into clear, confident, and persuasive oral advocacy.

In the end, David Kim was named the 2026 AUTLSS Campus Champion.

David now joins fellow campus winners from across the country and will travel to Adelaide in July to compete at the ALSA Paper Presentation Competition, before returning to New Zealand in August for the national final at the NZLSA Conference.

A sincere thank you to our judges — Judge Thomas, Deborah Manning, and Gogo Ntor — for their time, expertise, and the difficult task of selecting a winner. Thank you also to the AUTLSS Competition Officers for delivering such a well-run event, and to everyone who came along to support.

The 2026 campus season has been exceptional. The future of the legal profession is not just promising — it is already here.

On Wednesday night, Auckland University Law Students' Society hosted its LexisNexis Paper Presentation Competition Final at the Sir Owen G Glenn Building, University of Auckland - Waipapa Taumata Rau Law School - and the standard was outstanding.

Four competitors tackled ambitious and thought-provoking questions across international, constitutional, criminal, and corporate law:

Molly Zhou — "Orbiting Parental Alienation: What Are Its Effects on the Extraterrestrial Rights of Children in Humanoid Disputes?"

Grace Lee — "To what extent do Article 72-31 of the French Constitution and the Nouméa Accord (1998) give effect to Indigenous Kanak self-determination?"

Nilpa S. — "Between death and criminalisation — reasonable for whom? New Zealand self-defence laws as seen through a feminist lens"

Paikar Mustafa — "Greenwashing as a Structural Failure of Corporate Governance: Lessons from ACCR v Santos"

Each presentation demonstrated rigorous research, clarity of argument, and the confidence to engage with some of the most challenging questions facing contemporary law.

After a closely contested final, Molly Zhou was named the 2026 AULSS Campus Champion - a well-deserved result in a field of exceptionally high calibre.

A sincere thank you to our judges for their time, expertise, and thoughtful feedback: Graeme Switzer (Tavendale + Partners), Simon Schofield (Auckland Law School, The University of Auckland), and Simon Laracy (LexisNexis New Zealand).

Congratulations to all four competitors for contributing to such an intellectually engaging evening. The future of the legal profession is already here - and it is impressive.

Great to be back in Dunedin for SOULS Otago - The Society of Otago University Law Students Semester One Quiz Night, proudly sponsored by LexisNexis New Zealand.

A fantastic evening of quizzes, brain fog, competition, and plenty of laughter filled The Bog. It was great to see such a strong turnout and energy from everyone involved.

LexisNexis New Zealand came along with a stack of merchandise, ensuring each attendee received a small giveaway, while a few lucky teams picked up larger prizes, including additional merchandise and baskets packed with student essentials.

Well done to all the teams who took part, and a special thanks to the SOULS Social Committee for putting together such a well-run event. And of course, thanks to The Bog for hosting another brilliant night.

Already looking forward to the next one.

LexisNexis New Zealand was delighted to sponsor the LAWSOC Canterbury - The University of Canterbury Law Students' Society + ALSS - UC Asian Law Students' Society BBQ at the University of Canterbury on 13 May 2026.

The Asian Law Students' Society set the tone early with an impressive setup and seamless ex*****on on the grill, before passing the baton to the LAWSOC team to keep the momentum going. Together, they created a welcoming and vibrant atmosphere that brought students together across the faculty.

With a steady flow of great food, strong turnout from both legal and non-legal students, and plenty of LexisNexis-branded merch in circulation, the event delivered exactly what student engagement should be: inclusive, energetic, and genuinely enjoyable.

A huge thank you to the LAWSOC and ALSS teams for their collaboration and organisation, and to all the students who stopped by.

That’s a wrap on an incredible 38th Annual ILANZ: In-house Lawyers Association of New Zealand Conference in Wellington!

A huge thank you to the organisers at ILANZ for creating such a vibrant space for the in-house community to connect and grow. From the Mihi Whakatau to the final Gala Dinner, the atmosphere was electric.

We truly valued the great engagement at our stand. Discussing the practical applications of AI and how to manage "human spark" in automation with so many talented General Counsel and Corporate Lawyers was a highlight of our week.

Thank you for sharing your challenges and successes with us - we’re excited to keep supporting your journey back in the office!
