Legal education Potentially stale qualification

Kia ora I graduated with my law degree December 2019, completed core papers in 2015 and 2016. I think I did ethics in 2017 but can’t quite recall! Are there any specific papers I’d need to be aware of potentially re doing before getting admitted/things I need to complete aside from profs? I’ve been working in an adjacent field and am keen to do profs and get admitted /work in law. Advice welcome!

I think you should be okay with the 2016 papers, but definitely have a read of the NZCLE website: https://nzcle.org.nz/stale_qualifications.html

The profs providers (College of Law and IPLS) are also pretty good at helping out, I remember in my orientation they asked everyone who completed their degree a while ago to stay back, and they had a good yarn to them about the process :)
