Law Week 2026 — A Historic First for Te Piringa

Law Week 2026 was a huge milestone for the Te Piringa Student Events Association — and what a week it was.

In just our first year as an association, and only two months after being established, we delivered 13 events across one week, bringing together students, staff, and legal professionals in a way that hasn’t been seen before at Waikato.

Our Law Networking Evening was a standout, drawing over 50 attendees and bringing together students, faculty, and members of the profession. Opened by our President and the Dean of Law, the event set the tone for the week.

The energy continued with our Quiz Night at The Don, our Netball event, and our BBQ — over 100 sausages served and consistent engagement throughout.

Students shared that the week helped them meet new people, feel more connected to the law school, and encouraged them to get involved. We saw strong growth in our online presence and received a number of committee applications.

We’re grateful for the support of our sponsor, Norris Ward McKinnon, and look forward to building even stronger partnerships in the future. This is just the beginning.
