This was also the best overall result by any participating university in the recent annual Australian Law Students' Association conference, held in Sydney, which attracted more than 500 law students from Australia, New Zealand, Asia and the United Kingdom.
Otago law students reached finals in three of the four contests they entered.
Louis Chambers and Alice Osman, of Otago University, won the mooting contest, which Otago had last won in 1992, and Alex Boock and Robert Clarke won the client interviewing competition.
Kate Lawson-Bradshaw came second in the witness examination contest.
Otago law faculty dean Prof Mark Henaghan said that, given there were 32 law schools in Australia and six in New Zealand, this was a "significant achievement" for the faculty.
The Otago success against "this highly competitive group of law schools" showed the "outstanding skills" and attributes of Otago law students, he said.
