Can I register and pay online for CLE courses?

Yes. You will receive an automated response confirming that we have received your order.  You will receive another email from us once your payment has been received and processed.  If you have paid by credit card, you will notice on your order confirmation that this is also a GST receipt.

Who is a 'Member'?

'Members' are members of the New Zealand Law Society. If you have a practising certificate, you are a registered lawyer - this does not mean you are a 'Member'. If you are not a lawyer but an Associate Member of the NZLS you qualify for 'Members' rates.

How do I become a 'Member' of the NZLS?

As a practising lawyer you must keep a current practising certificate. When you pay your annual practising fee, you can opt on the registration form to become an NZLS 'Member'. Otherwise contact the NZLS Registry - 0800 22 30 30.

How do I become an Associate Member of the NZLS?

Contact the New Zealand Law Society here.

How do I get Members' pricing?

If you are an NZLS Member or an Associate Member you will qualify for Members' pricing. You will need to login before completing the purchase of your course if you wish to receive Members' pricing. You can either login under the 'myCLE' section or when you reach the 'Shopping Cart' you can login there.

Your username is your 6 digit NZLS registry (login) ID number. This number is also printed on your practicing certificate and each edition of your LawPoints. Due to security reasons we cannot give you your 6 digit NZLS registry (login) ID number. You can find out your username from the following options:

• Go to the forgotten my details section of this website and fill in your information and your username and password will be sent to you. To visit this section click here.
• You can find your ID number on any correspondence your have had from the NZLS registry, it is on the top right hand side of the letters.
• You can contact the NZLS Registry on 0800 22 30 30 and they can send you your registry ID number (note: the NZLS Registry cannot supply your password).

If I want to register for a course online and it is full, what can I do?

You will not be able to register for a course online that is full - however the website will notify you of this and give you an email link to the Registrations Officer. Email the registrations officer asking to be put on the waiting list.

Are there any 'special' rates for registrations?

There is a members-only rate available to NZLS Members and Associate Members, and for intensives and conferences there may be a special lower fee if you register and pay before a certain date (usually four weeks from the date of the course).  We call that an 'Early Bird' rate. 

What is a voucher?

If you have been sent a NZLS CLE voucher, you can use it online - by logging into the website, choosing your course, then entering the code when you checkout.  Alternatively, you can send the voucher to us attached to your hard copy registration form.

Are there any courses for which I cannot register online? What do I do?

You can register for most courses online. There are a few courses for which you must register your interest in attending and pay but your 'registration' is in fact an application and a refund will be made if your application is not successful, eg Litigation Skills Programme.  You will be told of this situation when you seek to register for one of these particular courses. Where an application process is required, download the application form, complete it and send it, with payment to NZLS CLE Ltd.

How will I know my registration has been accepted?

The online registration process will acknowledge the receipt of your registration. If you have paid by credit card, this will be a GST invoice. Registration only happens once payment has been received. Then you will be sent a GST invoice.

In addition, you will receive confirming notification with any materials sent to you in advance of the programme. 

I am a new graduate/recently admitted lawyer - how do I know which courses I can register for?

You may register for all courses. If there is a restriction, the information for the particular course will outline it. You may pay at the 'Member' rate only if you are a 'Member' of the NZLS.

Will I get information just before the course telling me when, where, timing and what to bring?

If you are registered for a seminar or workshop, you will receive a ticket confirming the time and venue, and a booklet generally 4-5 days before the seminar. Before an intensive or conference you will receive a ticket (confirming time and venue) often you will receive an accompanying letter and sometimes, course materials. Usually the booklets are distributed at the intensive or conference.

Can I have my materials sent to somewhere other than my firm?

Yes. If you are registering online simply change the address (this change will only take effect for that particular order if you are an NZLS Member or an Associate Member). If you are registering by any other means, please put the alternate address on the registration form.

Can you invoice me for my registration?

With three convenient means of payment in advance, we do not provide invoicing for courses.  However, we do invoice members for publications.

Are there any spaces left in ... programme?

Contact us or call 0800 333 111.

Am I registered for...?

Contact us or call 0800 333 111. If you have an account you can check the 'Order Status' area under the 'myCLE' section to see what courses you have registered for.

Is it possible to register for only one of the days in a two-day conference?

Sometimes it is. See the relevant brochure.

Can I pay a registration fee without the dinner?

If there is a dinner included in the programme it is included in the registation fee.  The social event is an integral part of the conference. If there is a choice – it will be outlined in the brochure. Of course, there is no compulsion to attend.

What if I need to cancel? What do I do? Can I get a refund?

The refund policy for any programme is clearly set out on the brochure, or website information relating to a particular course.  If in doubt, please contact the registrations officer or call 0800 333 111.
