The Law and Me
13LAW Course DescriptionStudents of Legal Studies explore Law as an integral aspect of society, investigate how laws are applied in everyday life, and consider how laws relate to, and are affected by, the changing needs and values of society.
In doing so, students gain an informed respect for the law that enables them to operate as confident and responsible citizens in a diverse society and sharpen their capacity to evaluate the concepts, principles, systems, and processes of the New Zealand legal system; the history of law in New Zealand; and the significance of the Treaty of Waitangi.
