![]() | Aboriginal Title: The Modern Jurisprudence of Tribal Land Rights P.G. McHugh is a New Zealander whose pioneering work has been at the forefront of this field. After graduating LLB (Hons, first class) from Victoria University of Wellington he completed an LLM at the University of Saskatchewan (1981) and a PhD at the University of Cambridge (winner of Yorke Prize 1988) for his dissertation "The aboriginal rights of the New Zealand Maori at common law." His work has been cited in court judgments and has been influential in policy-setting and resolution of land claims in several jurisdictions where he has acted as occasional independent advisor to governments and tribal bodies. He is known not only as a legal scholar but a legal historian, especially in the field of historiography and the disciplinary interplay of law and history. |
