Otago Law Career Events
Meet our fantastic law lecturers and hear about studying Law at Otago. We are touring New Zealand to talk about the Otago Law degree and the great and varied career opportunities it offers to everyone who takes up the degree.
The events are open to year 12 and 13 students, and we also invite parents to attend.
