Bernard Brown, who still professes law at the University of Auckland, has been close to the pulses of law reform, literature and politics in New Zealand since 1962. He is (sensibly) far from claiming that Sensible Sinning is the result, but he has taught law to the current Governor-General and the Chief Justice, many of the upper echelon judges and QCs, and politicians ranging from David Lange to Winston Peters, Richard Prebble to Doug Graham. He has been a member of the Criminal Law Reform Committee, is an honorary life member of the Criminal Bar Association, and has a long-standing connection with the Legal Research Foundation and the New Zealand Society of Authors. For the latter, he and friends established a free legal service to deal with authors' complaints (Portnoy's). Besides legal books Bernard Brown has had several verse collections published, most recently Surprising the Slug and Unspeakable Practices, published by Cape Catley.
