The annual Borrin Foundation-Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga (NPM) Summer Legal Research Internship Awards enable two Māori tertiary students to research legal issues of relevance to Māori. The internships strongly connect legal research with legal practice. Each intern is supervised by a Māori academic in the NPM network of scholars and a practising Māori lawyer from Te Hunga Roia Māori o Aotearoa (the Māori Law Society).
