IPLS to sponsor 2011 NZLSA Conference

The Institute of Professional Legal Studies (IPLS) has signed on as the naming rights sponsor of the 2011 New Zealand Law Student’s Association (NZLSA) Conference to be held at Waikato University between August 30 and September 3.

“We are very pleased to be associated with this prestigious event and look forward to a long and mutually rewarding association with the NZLSA,” said Bernadette Wilson, IPLS National Director. “As a premier provider of high quality professional legal education, IPLS is committed to developing effective junior lawyers ready to meet the standards expected of them as they enter the workplace.

The competitions held during the Conference provide an excellent opportunity for prospective lawyers to hone their skills in areas such as negotiating, client interviewing, witness examination and more.

According to Bernadette, these important topics are also covered in detail in IPLS’ practical, skills-based courses.

“Our instructors are passionate about ensuring law students enter the profession well prepared and ready to be a contributing member of the team from day one,” she said. “There is great value in law students coming together in an annual forum such as the NZLSA conference. IPLS is proud to support this venture and play an additional role in nurturing the lawyers of tomorrow.”

The event will be known as the IPLS New Zealand Law Students' Association Conference 2011.
