Australian Law Students Association

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Australian Law Students' Association (ALSA) is the peak representative body of law students from Australia. The ALSA facilitates communication between the law student societies of each Australian law school; it represents students to government, universities and the public; it authors numerous educational and careers publications; and it hosts an annual conference and two additional council meetings each year.

ALSA is a not-for-profit association run by law students elected annually for the benefit of all law students nationally. ALSA's membership is comprised of all law students in Australia, and their universities' law student societies. Representation to ALSA is facilitated by these societies, whose delegates sit on the ALSA National Council. The organisation's functions are overseen by an Executive and Committee.

[edit] Events

2005 saw the Australian Law Students Association (ALSA) Conference be held in Perth, Western Australia. The conference allows students to compete against fellow member universities in mooting, negotiation, witness examination and client interviewing. Each competition allows the student to apply their legal training, skills and knowledge in a practical sense.
