David Round
David Round's interests lie in the fields of Legal History, Constitutional Law, Jurisprudence, Environmental Law and Natural Resource Law. He was prompted to write his published book Truth or Treaty: Commonsense Questions about the Treaty of Waitangi in 1998 because of concerns about the effect of Treaty claims on the conservation estate.
David has written on a wide variety of topics, but more recently has tended to concentrate on issues concerning the Treaty and the environment. He is at present working on a second popular book on the Treaty. He also appears reasonably regularly in the pages of the Christchurch Press and other places.
David is a member of the University's Environmental and Resource Use Committee. He is immediate Past-President of the Federated Mountain Clubs and a Trustee of the Maurice White Native Forest Trust and the Canterbury Te Araroa trust. He is also a National Councillor of the New Zealand Highland Cattle Society.
