This chapter provides an overview of the history and the operations of the Administrative Division of New Zealand, and evaluates its executive arm's ability to realize its goals. Perceptions regarding the power of courts and tribunals are compartmentalized because some of New Zealand's ‘appeals’ have several forms and judicial authorities are not able to conform with theoretical explanations. In this regard, the multiple-speciality approach is proposed, which covers areas such as disaster management, risk reduction, wildlife protection, family planning, food and nutrition, human rights, basic necessities, asset valuation, health, national defence, and other concerns. Conceptualization and implementation of such a model is subject to existing literatures about specialized legal systems, geographic distribution issues, selection of proponents or pioneering batch of participants, data gathering procedures, and extent of generalizing results.

Keywords:   Administrative Division, New Zealand, courts, tribunals, appeals, multiple-speciality model, judiciary
