The Australian Law Students Association is a national not-for-profit association comprising all Law Student Societies and Law Students Associations, representing approximately 28,000 law students. The core functions of ALSA are to:
In achieving these objectives ALSA sets out to ensure that law students have a representative voice to the higher education sector, government, the legal profession and the community. ALSA is committed to the educational development of law students by providing valuable resources such as the Law Students' Directory, alternative careers guides and other information on matters relating to their law degrees, such as information on the legal profession, legal education, undergraduate course information, exchanges, and current affairs. ALSA is run by law students elected annually for the benefit of all law students. The governing body is the ALSA Council, to which each member association may appoint two representatives, who are usually its President and Vice-President (Education). ALSA's day-to-day operations are run by an executive and committee who are elected at the Annual General Meeting. ALSA does not offer students membership to ALSA, but rather represents your interests through your LSS.For more information about ALSA, and about how your interests as a law student are represented at the national level, please see the ALSA home page.
