[3] Auckland Law School is the home of volunteer (pro-bono legal services) organisation, the Equal Justice Project.
Founded in 2005 by students Eesvan Kirshnan and Peter Williams with the aim of promoting equal access to justice in Auckland.
[citation needed] Throughout the year the Society offers a variety of seminars and workshops to assist students with compulsory academic moots.
Te Rākau Ture (TRT) is the name of the Māori Law Students Association in which the rōpū initiates activities throughout the calendar year.
Established in 1990, TRT has grown to play a very important role in the lives of Māori students who study at Auckland Law School.
Highlights of Auckland's participation in the Jessup include a semi-final finish in 2012, and a Best Oralist award at the international rounds (Andrew Grant) in 2017.
The Master of Laws (LLM) is designed to provide an advanced level of study for both full-time students and those who are legal practitioners or engaged in other full- or part-time employment.
The LLM undertaken by coursework offers law graduates an opportunity to study areas in greater depth and complexity than within an undergraduate law degree, combining courses of sophistication and technical difficulty in terms of legal content with courses that contain relevant interdisciplinary subject matter and a focus on policy.
The MLS suits professionals from non-legal backgrounds who find that their careers require some knowledge of legal matters, but do not necessarily want to practise law.
A Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Law is a thesis-only research degree usually requiring full-time study for three to four years at the University of Auckland.
The degree is undertaken under supervision and candidates must complete a sustained course of advanced legal research resulting in the production of a substantial original thesis.
