Members of LEANZ can apply for election to the Fellowship. Fellows are entitled to use the post-nominal initials LEANZF.

The two main requirements for Fellowship are:

• five years’ membership of LEANZ; and
• publication of 100,000 words which advance the study or understanding of law and economics issues in or with reference to New Zealand.

(Please note that these are not the full rules and anyone interested should contact the President.)

At present, Fellows are elected by the Committee, but when there are sufficient Fellows election will pass to the Fellows.
