Welcome to the new Australian Law Students' Association (ALSA) website!

ALSA is the peak representative body for law students in Australia. Sounds impressive, but as a law student (and therefore an ALSA member), you may wonder: what exactly does ALSA do for me? ALSA's services to law students can be divided into three broad categories:

• Those as a national representative for law students' interests;
• Those delivered directly to law students (publications, ALSA Conference, etc); and
• Those as a knowledge sharing forum for law student societies (LSSs) (Council Meetings, Law Society Manual, etc).

2008-9 is an exciting year for ALSA. The Executive and Committee are committed to improving each of the three aspects of ALSA's activities listed above. We are also committed to improving the standing of Australian Law Students on the Global Stage through building relationships with other peak bodies and promoting Australian Champions' attendance at international finals of legal competitions.

You will find more information about all of ALSA's activities by browsing the pages of our website. Many useful reources are also available for Law Student Societies through the LSS Login. If you want more information or are interested in getting involved in ALSA, please contact the relevant Executive or Committee member, or failing that myself; my inbox is always open!

Kind regards

Verity Doyle
