Kingi is a criminal defence lawyer and youth advocate. Prior to starting as barrister, he worked for four years at the office of the Crown Solicitor for Auckland, Meredith Connell,  specialising in the prosecution of serious crime.  Kingi did a master’s degree at Harvard law school.

Super nice guy and very passionate about criminal justice reform with an emphasis on youth and preventing young Maori and Islanders from entering the “pipeline” which leads to a lifetime of offending and being locked up in our prisons.  Cool video of him here doing a TED Talk – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6A9ABdpibBw
