Are you stressed about the LAWS297 Moot? Are you eager to practice your mooting & advocacy skills? Or perhaps you’re willing to revisit your mooting days?

Introducing for the first time ever…the ALSA Social Justice Moot! With the goal of creating a welcoming and supportive environment for everyone, the ALSA SJM hopes to cultivate a space for students to practice and display their mooting abilities.

With a focus on a Asian cultural issue, this moot has been designed so anyone in their law school journey will be able to compete and garner feedback from experienced litigators and lawyers that may be applicable to their own LAWS297 Moot or other competitions. Picking up invaluable advocacy skills are also part of the whole experience.

Come along to our information session to learn more about the competition and SIGN UP!

Kia ora ALSA fam 🩷

I am excited to announce the launch of the Mentoring Programme for 2024 !

For those of you who may not know, the initiative behind the mentoring programme is to provide an opportunity for ALSA members to share their intergenerational knowledge and support one another.

The mentoring launch is for senior students (second year and up) and ALSA alumni (as mentors). Senior students this is an amazing opportunity to step into the role of mentor, mentee or both !!

Also in light of ALSA’s 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY a great way to acknowledge and give back to the community we have built 🤩

Don’t worry juniors there will be a opportunity to participate in the programme in Trimester 2 🫶🏼.

To sign up, fill in the Google Form in our bio!

I cannot wait to see you all there!

Introducing the panellists for this Wednesday’s panel in collaboration with our new sponsor Fitzherbert Rowe!

This panel discussion aims to shed light on an important and often overlooked aspect of Aotearoa New Zealand's multicultural fabric: the Asian diaspora and its interaction with the legal system. As Aotearoa New Zealand continues to witness a growing Asian population, it is crucial to examine how individuals from Asian backgrounds engage with the country's legal framework, identify key areas of progress, and discuss potential areas for improvement.

Come along and hear what our esteemed guests have to say. There will be kai and a give away!

WHEN: Wednesday 19 July, 6:00PM start
WHERE: GBLT1, Pipitea Campus
