Dear New Zealand Law Society,

I hope this finds you well. I acknowledge that NZLS is not subject to OIA. However, would it be possible to know the number of Filipinos who hold a practising certificate? This is just for research purposes, as the number of Filipino lawyers in other Commonwealth countries does not reflect the hundred thousand Filipino immigrants in their countries. I am just wondering if it's the case here in New Zealand. I would highly appreciate it if you could provide the data. Thank you very much!

Yours faithfully,
Ethan
