Raymond Mark Henaghan (born in Timaru) is a former Dean of the University of Otago Faculty of Law in Dunedin, New Zealand up until April 2018. His research interests include family law, especially law relating to children, law regarding the human genome, and judiciary law.

Background

Henaghan attended school in Timaru and studied law at Otago University. On qualifying he became a teaching fellow, providing advice, helping with submissions, and training Family Court judges. He has never practised in a law firm.[1] He is involved in the Pathways and Transitions Research Project as part of the New Zealand Government funded Resilience Research Project.[2]

Henaghan is the second academic to be admitted as an Associate Fellow of the International Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (IAML).
