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

ALSA is the peak representative body for law students in Australia. As an Australian law student, you are an ALSA member. Your interests are represented by your own university's Law Students' Society (LSS), who form part of the ALSA Council. Now you are more than likely asking yourself "how is ALSA different to my own university LSS, and what exactly does ALSA do for me?" Good question.

ALSA's services can be divided into three broad categories:

1. Acting as a national representative for Australian law students' interests;
2. Providing direct services for Australian law students; and
3. Providing a knowledge sharing forum for law student societies (LSSs) across Australian universities

2009-10 is, as always, 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 resources 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 if you feel the need; myself directly. My inbox is always open, and my phone is always on!

I wish you all the best in your studies.
