The Law Foundation congratulates Joanna Mossop, Senior Lecturer in law at VUW, on becoming the joint winner of the 2016 JF Northey Memorial Book Award. Her book published in 2016, “The Continental Shelf Beyond 200 Nautical Miles – Rights and Responsibilities”, draws on her Law Foundation–funded research that made the book possible.
Joanna’s book addresses very topical issues that are highly relevant to New Zealand.

Joanna’s book considers the states’ rights and responsibilities that are in tension.
