The ALSA Council is a body comprising:

• the ALSA Executive;
• the ALSA Committee; and
• Two representatives (usually the president and a vice president) from each of the 33 law student societies in Australia.

The Council meets three times a year. As ALSA's managing body, the Council so discusses any current issues in ALSA administration. The Council also discusses national issues in legal education to inform the stance that the ALSA Executive & Committee takes on these issues.

The Council's most important function is as a knowledge sharing forum for law student societies. Each meeting includes a number of break-out forums on topics nominated by councillors based on issues facing their law society. Discussion topics range from how to host a good law ball, to dealing with the law faculty, to methods of administration and team management.
