University of Otago students angered over the cancellation of a law camp have launched a petition calling for the camp to be reinstated. The Society of Otago University Law Students (Souls) cancelled its annual second-year law camp this week following a series of allegations of nudity and jelly wrestling. The camp is organised by Souls, and has been running for at least the past 10 years. The complainant who sparked the controversy claimed her 2012 Law Camp experience was tainted by a talent quest featuring male strippers, and unsavoury drinking games. Several other former law students who contacted the Otago Daily Times yesterday said their experiences of the camps were much different from those who found it inappropriate.
