The New Zealand Law Foundation has provided generous support for the expansion of the Law in Schools Project to Auckland. The Foundation has enabled the Law in Schools Project to commence its pilot year in Auckland where the Law in Schools Project will be visiting lower decile schools.
One of the Foundation's purposes is to promote or assist in the legal education of students at every level and members of the public generally. This purpose is aptly furthered by the education of Year 13 students via the Law in Schools Project.
The Law Foundation provides funds to cover photocopying expenses as well as the transportation costs for Law in Schools tutors.
