Long-Term Insights Briefings (LTIBs) are a government initiative requiring agencies to develop and share insights on the trends, risks and opportunities that affect, or may affect, Aotearoa New Zealand.
Under the Public Service Act 2020, government department chief executives are required to publish a Briefing at least once every three years. Long-Term Insights Briefings are not government policy. They are intended to help us think about the future and what will matter most for the long-term wellbeing of New Zealanders.

The topic for the first Justice Sector Briefing was: Long-term insights about imprisonment 1960-2050 It was published in December 2022.
The proposed topic for our second LTIBs is The Future of Courts and Justice Services.
Our companion briefings will look at the key trends in the accessibility of courts and justice services and consider future scenarios if these trends continued.
The Ministry’s over-arching Briefing will look at the big changes that will shape the future of courts and justice services, like new technology, changes in society, and what people expect from the justice system.
Crown Law’s companion Briefing will be informed by experience as a participant in court processes but will focus on matters relating to the overall democratic and constitutional settings of our justice system.
Learn more and share your thoughts by 31 January 2024 at our consultation hub(external link).
There will be two phases where you can share your thoughts:
The final Briefings will be presented to Parliament in September 2025 and will be made available to the public.
