The man at the centre of a 22 hour armed stand-off in the Bay of Plenty in which four police officers were shot in March 2016 will stand trial in the High Court in Hamilton today.

Rhys Richard Ngahiwi Warren, 28, faces two counts of attempted murder and five counts of using a firearm against a law enforcement officer.

The army was brought in to assist police during the siege, which was resolved when Taupo area commander Warwick Morehu entered the Kawerau property to talk Warren down.

Warren appeared in the Tauranga High Court in October where he challenged the justice system's right to try him on the charges.

He said he didn't recognise the court's jurisdiction and nominated three people - including two Native Assessors under the the Te Tura Whenua Maori ACt 1993 (Maori Land Act) part 13 - to represent him.

Justice Brewer told him they had to be barristers of the High Court.
