Vision and Purpose

Our vision - To be the pre-eminent provider of continuing legal education in New Zealand.

Our purpose - To provide professional development for lawyers by offering them a high quality, affordable CLE service.

We offer:
  • something for everyone - a range of courses across all practice areas, catering, in particular, for needs and interests not generally catered for by commercial providers
  • a wide range of different formats depending on the needs of the target group or the nature of the subject material - so we provide:
- seminars
- webinars
- one-day intensives focused on areas of special interest
- small-group, skills-based workshops
- introductory courses for new practitioners
- in-house training packages for firms, and
- two-day conferences
- live web streams of intensives, forums, conferences & In Short seminars
- online CPD - learning on demand
  • as many courses in the smaller centres as is practicable
  • top quality background materials containing the very latest developments in the given field of law
  • presentations based on sound educational principles - notably the opportunity to apply the principles to realistic case study situations because this is the basis of any effective education.

And above all...

Presenters who are among the best experienced and most knowledgeable in the profession - where presenters come from outside the profession, then they will be drawn from amongst the best possible available.
