Subject: "The Otago District Law Society was founded in June 1879. It arose out of the failure of the first New Zealand Law Society and its aims were to preserve the 'rights of the profession', maintain order and discipline within the profession, and consider proposed changes in the law. These have remained the society's basic aims and functions for one hundred years. This centennial history analyses the way in which the society has approached its task. Dr Cullen concludes that the last twenty years have in many ways seen more changes than the previous eighty." -- Book jacket
