University of Otago law students Nic Blumsky-Gibbs and Sean Conway gained third place in an international client consultation contest in the Netherlands earlier this month.
The duo entered the contest’s final with a perfect score. Ultimately the competition was won by a team from Jamaica, with an Australian team taking the second prize. The competition tested the teams’ ability to interview and advise clients on their options for legal action.
The Otago pair were chosen to represent New Zealand after winning a national client consultation contest. Both Blumsky-Gibbs and Conway attributed their success to good teamwork and much interviewing practice with coach Selene Mize, who is a senior lecturer at Otago’s Law Faculty.
