You are a member of the New Zealand Council of Legal Education. You hold office for a term of up to 3 years. The Governor-General decides the term on the advice of the Attorney-General. You can be reappointed when your term ends. If your term ends, you keep holding office until you are reappointed, a new member is appointed, or the Attorney-General tells you that you will not be reappointed. The Attorney-General must tell you in writing if you will not be reappointed. You will stop holding office when one of these things happens, as stated in section 284.
