Description

This is the first detailed exploration of the early history of legal education in New Zealand. It draws on extensive research into a range of historical material and periodical literature, as well as a rich variety of accounts and recollections from former staff and students, to explore the first 100 years of teaching and study of law at Canterbury. In doing so it offers a fresh insight into the often uneasy relationship between teachers and practitioners, particularly the long struggle over control of examinations for the law degree. It paints a vivid picture of the development of the 'rival' Law Professional qualification, and examines the ebbs and flows in the popularity of law as a career choice. While exploring these national elements, this book remains grounded in the experiences of generations of students and their teachers in the very special Canterbury environment.
