While the Resource Management Journal keeps professionals informed about current developments, practice, policy, and sector news, NZJEL provides deeper scholarly examination of the legal principles, emerging issues, and research that shape environmental governance and law reform. Together, the two publications offer complementary perspectives for everyone working across the environmental and resource management sector.
