Chinese Law Club

Chinese Law Club (CLC) is an academic and cultural club in the University centralised on encouraging and facilitating the involvement of Chinese law students and other law students interested in Chinese culture through various social, cultural and academic events. It is important for us to enhance the profile of Chinese law students in New Zealand by building and strengthening their relationships in the legal community. We are dedicated to celebrating the richness and diversity of Chinese culture while supporting students at law school. Since our establishment in 2021, we have had over 500 members join an gain valuable experiences and academic advice through our events.

Each year CLC hosts our popular LAW121 and LAW131/141 workshops. These workshops are catered towards first year law students in hopes of supporting them through their first few exams at law school. Additionally, we host various speaker panels including for summer clerkships and careers that are welcome to students at all levels of law school. These panels provide helpful and personal insight into experiences and positions that students may take interest in in the future.

Another key part of our club is our mentoring programme. Part 1 and 2 students are paired with students in their latter years of law school. We encourage mentoring pairs to partake in a wide variety of activities that we host throughout the year. The mentoring programme has been incredibly popular as it has helped many students form friendships and connections from various communities across the university. Currently, we are working on creating a Chinese Law Dictionary. We aim to finalise this by the end of the year and hope it will be beneficial for international law students who may be struggling to get a grasp on the English law jargon.

Each year as CLC grows, we are ever more focused and passionate about providing a supportive and educational environment for law students to explore Chinese culture while building friendships and connections. With many events to come in 2023, we are excited to see how we can continue to fulfil our club's vision.
