Graduating in Europe, Practicing law in NZ


bokeh

Hi.
I'm currently studying Law in Romania (with plans on taking a LLM on International Law in UK or NZ to be able to practice as an international lawyer) but my long-term plans include moving to NZ with my boyfriend.
Now, since Romania is an European country and it uses a combination of roman/french law system, I was wondering what exactly I would need to do to be able to practice law in NZ (and if there are any kind of 1year/2year courses in NZ that would help with taking the NZ bar exam).
