The Higher Education Working Party looks at how changes to the tertiary education sector impact on law students. In particular, this year the Working Party will be looking at the funding of  law degrees and the conferral of honours in LLBs. Through working party meetings, submissions, surveys and online polls, ALSA will consult with law students across Australia and lobby on your behalf to ensure the quality of your degrees is maintained.
