Our Vision
"Te Piringa Faculty of Law’s vision is to be a leading law school recognised for our global reach and impact. For the last 30 years, the Faculty – built on a steadfast commitment to extending its founding goals of biculturalism, professionalism, and the study of law in context – has been producing some of the best law graduates in Aotearoa New Zealand and around the world. We are committed to excellence in our research, teaching, and engagement. Our research transcends disciplinary boundaries and offers real-world solutions, and we are committed to setting a new benchmark in Maori and Indigenous research and a bicultural legal education. Our students experience a transformative, contextual and technologically sophisticated legal education, and are equipped with innovative, creative, professional and boundary-crossing skills. Our 30thanniversary is a time to celebrate with Te Piringa’s whanau that has helped our Faculty carve a place in Aotearoa New Zealand’s legal history.”
