The Course
The Legal Executive Course has been offered by the New Zealand Law
Society, originally for those people employed in a legal firm, but
more recently for anybody working, or wishing to work in a legal
or quasi-legal environment. The emphasis of the Course is aimed
at teaching students the skills required by a Legal Executive rather
then attempting to teach Legal Executives to make decisions which
should properly be made by a lawyer.
