My name is Tom, and I'm a legal and political researcher focused on New Zealand and United States articles covering rule of law issues, common law issues, and human rights issues - especially when these areas intersect (or should intersect). I also enjoy a fair bit of historical research in relation to these topics.

Through careful research and updates to various articles, I hope to bring a clearer picture of how legal issues, political systems, civil liberties, and human rights are actually applied and enforced in the real world.

I apologize in advance for any typos or technical inconsistencies in my article edits. I'll always try to keep articles consistent, but I do prefer citation templates. I will also add links to other articles or additional sources when I see that some are missing.
