Another top law firm is embroiled in claims of sexual relations between one of its solicitors and a law student. A woman who attended Auckland University Law Students' Society annual law camp in 2012 has told the New Zealand Herald a Chapman Tripp solicitor had sex with a law student at the event. "We have become aware that one of our junior lawyers may have had personal relations with someone on the 2012 law camp," she said.

She said it was one thing to have "newly admitted law students put in a situation where they are pressured to drink and take part in nudity and sexual conduct to earn points by older law students.
