I have been given more outlet for expressing and acting upon my frustrations than most lawyers. A highlight was taking an important case about collectivity in front of a full court, thanks to Maurice Davis and the wonderful Amalgamated Workers Union NZ, here today in the gallery. It reinforced the value of unions in a society that seemed to have forgotten them. I also recognise that I have been working in a field that has had many redeeming features, including fantastic colleagues and judges. I am aware other areas of the law have been more extremely impacted by the lack of affordable access to justice.
