This week on Māpuna we are talking tikanga and ture, the place of tikanga in the law. Justice Christian Whata and Amokura Kawharu the President of the Law Commission join us to discuss the Commission's latest report, which provides information on the current and future interaction of tikanga Māori and state law.

The Law Commission is hopeful the report will help upskill lawyers on tikanga and provide a resource for university law schools and other places where the next generation of lawyers are being taught.
