52

Notes Part I
Only students who gain B- or better in LAW 121G (or C+ in the case of UTAS students) will be
permitted to proceed to LAW 131 and LAW 141.
  Notes Part II
The Law GPA for the purpose of admission into LLB Part II is to be based on the grades for LAW 121/121G Law
and Society and LAW 131 Legal Method and LAW 141 Legal Foundations, together with the grades in the best
other courses (being degree  courses of a university) taken in the most recent year of study that constitute 75
points (or equivalent).
The grade for LAW 121/121G is to be single-weighted, but the grades for LAW 131 and LAW 141 are to be double-
weighted for the purpose of calculating the Law GPA; that is, each of LAW 131 and LAW 141 is to be treated
as if it were a 30-point course for Part II selection purposes.
Where a student has attempted LAW 121/121G, LAW 131 or LAW 141 multiple times, the highest grade
achieved in each course is to be used for the purpose of calculating the Law GPA.
In cases where the most recent year comprised courses (other than LAW 121/121G, LAW 131 and LAW 141)
totaling fewer than 75 points, the grades achieved in the most recent year are to be supplemented by grades
in courses from the most recent preceding year(s), to a total of 75 points (or equivalent).
No applicant wil  be selected for General admission nor for Discretionary Hardship admission nor under the
Targeted Admission Schemes for Māori, Pacific, Students with Disabilities, Students from Low Socioeconomic,
or Refugee backgrounds unless he or she obtained (i) a Law GPA of at least 3.000 (C+ average) and, (ii) a
grade of at least C+ in LAW 121/121G Law & Society and in LAW 131 Legal Method (or in LAW 101 the Legal
System before 2006) and in LAW 141 Legal Foundations, or equivalent standard of achievement in the LSAT or
other measure of legal aptitude (under LLB regulation 9). These are the minimum grade requirements.
Applicants with a Law GPA of 6.5 or higher will be guaranteed admission (under general admission). Applicants
with lower Law GPAs may be admitted in the various UTAS categories, subject to meeting the minimum grade
requirements specified above. In the event that not all available places are thereby filled, the threshold for
general admission may be set below GPA 6.5.
In the case of Transferring Part II law applicants (being students who have been admitted to second-year law
courses at another New Zealand law school but who have not yet satisfied all of this University’s Part I and II
requirements because of the different degree structures and who will have non-law credit for at least 5
courses at 15 points each) the Law GPA is to include the grades in any second-year law courses taken (up to
90 points). A Transferring Part II law applicant who has not yet passed the equivalent of LAW 141 wil  be
required to successful y complete LAW 141 in their first year of transferred enrolment alongside LAW 201-298
and their continuation on the LLB programme will be conditional on successfully completing LAW141 with this
University’s minimum grade requirements. Students applying in this category may not be considered under
any other scheme except the Discretionary Hardship admission scheme for Part II.
In the case of students who have completed LLB Part I (but have not yet been admitted to LLB Part II) at
another NZ law school, with high grades that meet this University’s minimum Part I grade requirements for our
Part II admission standard, and who have passed the equivalent of LAW 121 and 131 but (because of the
different degree structures) not yet passed the equivalent of LAW 141 nor 75 points in non-law courses,
admission to LLB Part II may be approved under general admission or discretionary hardship or any of the
UTAS categories. Such students, if selected for admission to LLB Part II, must successfully complete LAW 141
in their first year of transferred enrolment, with this University’s minimum grade requirements for entry into
Part II and the outstanding non-law course/s alongside LAW 201-298 and their continuation on the LLB
programme will be conditional on their successful completion of these requirements. Applicants in this
category with a Law GPA of 6.5 or higher wil  be guaranteed admission.In the event that the Law GPA required
for general admission is lower than 6.5, that lower Law GPA will be applied to transferring applicants.
Where an applicant makes a good case which is accepted by the Dean that the work done in the most recent
year or years was not representative of his or her ability because of significant unforeseen circumstances
beyond his or her control that have impacted on his or her grades, the average may be computed from
courses taken in an earlier year or years.
Where an applicant has passed LAW 101 The Legal System prior to 2006, the grade for LAW 101 is to be
substituted for LAW 121/121G and LAW 131, and weighted as though 45 points.
Where, under LLB regulation 9, a graduate applicant is to be considered for Part II admission without having
taken LAW 101or LAW 121/121G, 131 and 141, the Law GPA for selection purposes is to be computed on the
basis of (i) the best courses (being degree courses of a university) taken in the most recent year of full-time
study (or most recent years, where the most recent year was not full-time, or was limited ful -time) which
constitute a normal full- time programme of 120 points (or equivalent) and (i ) the LSAT score or other measure
of legal aptitude approved by the Dean under regulation 9.

53

In respect of Maori+ UTAS admission to Part II, in the event that more than 32 applicants have achieved the
minimum standard (Law GPA of at least 3.0, with at least C+ grades in LAW 121G, LAW 131 and LAW 141)
and have satisfied the interviewing panel as to their eligibility to be admitted under the scheme, additional
places may be offered to enable more than 32 students to be admitted.
  Discretionary Hardship Part II* admission scheme:
Up to 3 places may be allocated to students whose Law GPA is below the standard required but who are able
to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Selection Committee: (i) that their failure to meet that standard is
attributable to exceptional, unforeseen circumstances beyond their control, independently verified by
appropriate evidence of medical, family or other; and (ii) that undue hardship would result if they were not
admitted to LLB Part II at the University of Auckland.

  Notes Part III
Academic merit and legal aptitude, as shown by an applicant’s Law GPA calculated as follows:
Students from other New Zealand law schools may be considered for admission to LLB Part III, provided they
have passed at least 5 non-law courses totaling 75 points, and the equivalents of LAW 121G, 131, at this
University’s minimum standard, and the equivalents of any of LAW 201, 211, 231, and 241.
The Law GPA for the purpose of admission into LLB Part III for such transferring students is to be based on the
grades achieved in (i) LAW 121/121G and LAW131 (and LAW   141 if previously completed), or their
equivalent/s, with LAW 121 to be single-weighted and each of LAW 131 and 141 being weighted as 30 points;
and (ii) in LAW 201, LAW 211, LAW 231 and LAW 241, or their equivalents, together weighted as 120 points.
In each case, the equivalent Part II course(s) offered at another New Zealand law school shall be substituted,
and the grade weighted as though for the Auckland equivalent. Where a student has attempted any of these
courses multiple times, the highest grade achieved in each course is to be used for the purpose of calculating
the Law GPA.
Where an applicant makes a good case which is accepted by the Dean that the work done in the most recent
year or years was not representative of his or her ability because of significant unforeseen circumstances
beyond his or her control that have impacted on his or her grades, the average may be computed from
courses taken in an earlier year or years.
Transferring students admitted to Part III must in their first year of transferred enrolment at the University of
Auckland successfully complete LAW141 with this university’s minimum grade requirements for entry into Part
II if not already completed.

Discretionary Hardship Part III^ admission scheme:
Of the 10 places reserved for Transferring Part III Law, up to 5 places may be allocated to students whose Law
GPA is below the standard required for Part II entry but who are able to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the
Selection Committee: (i) that their failure to meet that standard is attributable to exceptional, unforeseen
circumstances beyond their control, independently verified by appropriate evidence of medical, family or
other; and (ii) that undue hardship would result if they were not admitted to LLB Part III at the University of
Auckland.
Publication of Rank Score information – N/A
  Information published in faculty marketing and recruitment plans must also be aligned with approved selection
criteria.
