Long-term Insights Briefing

What does the future hold? Consultation on draft Long-term Insights Briefing opens on 28 August 2025

No one knows what the world will be like in the future. We can prepare by looking ahead and considering the challenges and opportunities. Crown Law has been doing just that, as it has considered, in its draft Long-term Insights Briefing, what the future holds for the prosecution of serious crime.

From 28 August 2025 until 28 September 2025, you will have the chance to share your thoughts on the future of prosecutions as part of the consultation on Crown Law’s draft Long-term Insights Briefing: The Future Operations of the Courts and Justice services: Potential implications for the prosecution of serious crime. 

This will be a companion briefing to the Ministry of Justice’s overarching Long-term Insights Briefing on “The Future Operations of the Courts and Justice Services”. Crown Law’s final briefing will be completed in late 2025.

If you have any questions| pātai you can contact the LTIB project team at LTIB@crownlaw.govt.nz.
