Barrister Jane Stevenson of New Zealand; ethical misfit

 

The Law Society of New Zealand presented Jane Maree Stevenson with a law license in 1999 after he graduated from Victoria University of Wellington Law School. 

 

The found New Zealand Lawyers and Conveyancers Disciplinary Tribunal found Jane guilty of the following misconduct.

  • Conduct amounted to unsatisfactory conduct by a significant margin
  • Breached an undertaking
  • Lacks ability to understand significance of professional obligations
  • Improperly paid client $12,000 out of marital assets
  • Failed to appreciate seriousness of her actions

As a consequence of her misconduct, the patron saints for Attorney Misfits sitting on the New Zealand Disciplinary Tribunal punished Jane by gifting her with a complimentary censure.

 

As we speak (ca. April 2016), Jane practices with Kapiti Law in New Zealand.
