Arguing points of law, disputing facts and deciding guilt or innocence were just three of the aspects of law that several of our senior students experienced at a recent Workshop organised by the Otago University Law Faculty.

Isimeli Tuivala, Oliver Palmer-Hargreaves, Nicholas Griffen, Taina Te Ngahue, and Te Ngaru Wehi were joined by twenty students from other Dunedin schools in a programme designed to develop Maori and Pacific leadership in Law. A similar number of first and second year law students were involved in discussions around the law and study at Otago University.

Led by Professor Jacinta Ruru and Project Co-ordinator Alice Anderson the workshop was a challenging and informative programme for all of the participants.
