The ALAA conference is jointly hosted by The University of Sydney Law School and University of Technology Sydney Law Faculty.
The conference will be held virtually.
The theme of the Conference has been chosen to enable exploration and celebration of legal scholarship and the role of the academic.
Legal academics are not failed practitioners or wannabe sociologists. Law schools are not adjuncts to the profession. Legal teachers and researchers have made and continue to make significant contributions to the law, the legal profession, the community and society at large. The 2021 ALAA conference will celebrate these contributions. We will explore the role of legal scholars and the legal academy in the 21st century; identify and commemorate the heroes of legal scholarship; examine ways to better define, measure and support legal research; celebrate innovation within Australasian law teaching and scholarship; and identify strategies for supporting academic wellness, professional development and career success”.
