We start this episode at a time before the Brits arrived, and see what conflict resolution looked like and how the community was involved. When the Brits arrived, they refused to follow local iwi law, so instead brought their own dispute-resolution system from home. Robbie looks at New Zealand's court systems, the purpose for each one, what happens if you need to go to court, and the options New Zealand citizens have.
