Justice is about fairness. It plays an essential role in keeping people safe, protecting people’s rights and maintaining trust and confidence in public institutions.
At the Ministry, our aim is to deliver people-centred justice services to provide access to justice for all.
We lead the justice sector, working closely with the judiciary and our sector colleagues – New Zealand Police, Dept of Corrections, Crown Law and the Serious Fraud Office.
Led by the Secretary for Justice and Chief Executive Andrew Kibblewhite, we have over 3000 people based throughout New Zealand from Kaitaia to Invercargill.
The ministry’s role is wide-ranging:
•We work with the judiciary to deliver court services for the Supreme Court, Court of Appeal, High Court, 58 District Courts, Coroners Court, Environment Court, Employment Court and Maori Land Court.
•We support 29 tribunals, authorities and committees that help New Zealanders resolve disputes.
•We negotiate historical Treaty of Waitangi claims, building positive and durable settlements between the Crown and Māori.
•We provide legal help to people charged with criminal offences through the Public Defence Service, the largest criminal law practice in New Zealand.
•We administer the Legal Aid system which pays for legal help for those who can’t afford a lawyer.
•We work to reduce crime and reoffending.
•We develop justice policy and provide advice to Ministers and Cabinet, which helps address a range of issues such as supporting victims, holding offenders to account and supporting human rights.
•We collect court-ordered fines.
•We provide 450,000 criminal conviction history checks each year, helping employers make informed decisions.
•We manage over 150 pieces of legislation including the Official Information Act.
A purposeful life, powered by our Jewish community.
Combined Jewish Philanthropies (CJP) unites the Greater Boston Jewish community around a common purpose: to ignite positive change at home, in Israel, and across the globe. As a philanthropic organization driven by our Jewish values, learning, and culture, we build partnerships, develop resources, and put innovative philanthropy into practice. Our work turns on the idea that together, we can do more; individual acts of kindness become collective action that strengthens Jewish life and makes our world a better place for all.
Through the generosity of our donors and volunteers, we invest in programs that sustain Jewish life and learning, strengthen our community, and provide for people during times of need. By making strategic grants and thinking big with our partners, we empower hundreds of organizations and institutions to maximize their impact. And by doing it together, we help to build a purposeful, vital, and inclusive Jewish community.
As a community united by shared purpose, we can deliver positive change that impacts us today and for generations to come. We believe that together, we can do more: for our community, for our culture, and for the world. Together, we are creating a bridge between our shared past and a vibrant future.
