Lex Wāhine
Women in Law
We recently attended the launch of a new initiative at the University of Waikato Tauranga Campus: Lex Wāhine. Three amazing students (including Vanshika and Jess, who work with our Supervised Contact Service Nga Ringa Haumaru, In Safe Hands), organised a wonderful night with speakers, refreshments and time to mix and mingle with law students, local legal firms, Judges, and Faculty of Law staff.
Wonderfully inspiring and so good to meet these young women with such a passion for people and the law!
