Educating for the Profession: Law at Canterbury 1873-1973

The first detailed account of the early history of legal education in New Zealand, this study draws on historical material—and a rich variety of recollections from former staff and students—to explore the sometimes turbulent first 100 years of the law school at Canterbury University. The discussion also provides new data on the ebbs and flows in the popularity of law as a career choice in New Zealand during this time.
