YESTERDAY. TODAY. TOMORROW.
Celebrating 20 years of cultivating changemakers, innovators, and future leaders
AFTER 20 YEARS, WE LOOK BACK AT THE COLLEGE THAT'S FOREVER LOOKING FORWARD.
Since opening our doors in 2004, we’ve been perpetually posing the question: ‘Where's Next?’. Today, with over 400 staff across Australia and New Zealand, and more than 100,000 of our graduates working across all facets of the industry, we’re still asking the same question.
Where's next for the college? Where’s next for the industry? But most importantly, where’s next for our students and alumni?
Because our success is not defined by the age of our walls, it’s measured by the limitless potential of our students within them, and the incredible achievements of our alumni beyond them. Amongst the thousands of individuals that walk through our doors each year, no two are alike. And with this understanding we continue our commitment to provide innovative, flexible, practice-focused education and training for everybody, and every journey.
With a mission to break down the monopolisation of educational resources since as far back as the 70s, the College of Law New Zealand broke into the scene in 2001, teaming up with major law firms and quickly gaining credibility.
Against financial challenges and complex regulations, the College managed to shift the dynamic, offering new opportunities and breathing new life into the system. 20 years later, The College of Law New Zealand is a successful and prominent player in New Zealand's legal education system.
Not just the place, but the people.
When it comes to measuring our success, the students and alumni that pass through these doors are our barometer. By cultivating a passion for the craft, we watch our alumni breathe new life into the industry, and society.
That’s why we constantly revise and revolutionise. What we do, how we do it, what we teach and how people learn. To create a place where potential thrives in practice. Inspiring a diverse range of people determined to improve our world. Or those who simply want to improve themselves, one day at a time.

"I was once reminded by the venerable Tohunga Tā Pou Temara that we must be patient – ‘me manawanui’. It's like the turtle and hare race; our friends may go off onto big time jobs quite early in their career, however, he (or she) that holdfast to the law will reap the rewards later down the track."
