Become a Law Student for a Day
You are invited to visit the University of Waikato campus for a day or half a day - to find out what life is like as a Waikato Law student.
A law degree usually takes four years of study. Before making the commitment it's a good idea to get a taste of what you'll be studying and what Te Piringa - Faculty of Law is all about.
The University offers students the chance to become a Law Student for a Day so before making the time and money commitments, secondary students and others looking for a career change get to spend the day attending lectures and tutorials, chat with senior law students and take part in activities in the Law Library and computer lab.
Chad Wallace, 2007 deputy head boy and house captain at Hamilton's Fraser High School did legal studies in year 12, and also completed the University of Waikato's STAR online law paper Introduction to New Zealand Law and Society which uses online discussions and debates, DVD video clips, quizzes and interviews with key participants in the legal system. His appetite was whetted for law and coming to Law Student for a Day sealed it.

"I think the best part was meeting current students and finding out what they liked about Waikato and about the different aspects of law they were studying."
