The Australian Law Students' Association is delighted to announce that the premier sponsor of the ALSA Conference (Melbourne) 2012 is Clayton Utz. This marks the third year that Clayton Utz has been the premier sponsor of the Conference and we are greatly privileged to continue our relationship into this year.

Clayton Utz representatives will be available at various events across the week, including the Careers Fair to answer any questions you might have about applying to the firm and the work that they do. We also encourage you to like their Facebook page to keep up to date with the latest news, application closing dates, and career information.

Once again we thank Clayton Utz for their involvement and look forward to seeing you from the 9 - 16th July in Melbourne. To register your spot head to www.alsaconference.com.au.

How much is Gold Registration: $850 + paypal transaction fee

How much is Silver Registration: $500 + paypal transaction fee

What is the difference between gold and silver registration: Gold registration includes accommodation. Both allow entry into:

• Opening and Closing Gala,
• Cocktail Evening
• 3 Australian Legal Education Forums
• 2 Speakers Forums
• Workshops
• Sports Day
• Theme nights
• Careers Fair
• And some lunches

What is a transport pass? Transport passes are an optional extra the Conference team are providing to help make the whole process as easy as possible.

The Gold Transport Pass includes return flights from your city of choice to Melbourne, airport transfer and a week long public transport pass (the easiest and cheapest way of getting around Melbourne). The cost varies depending on which city you fly from.

The Silver Transport Pass is the weekly public transport pass.

What is the pub crawl tshirt? Can't I just turn up at the pub? The pub crawl is a sell out event every year. All attendees receive a tshirt which entitles them to discounted drinks and free entry. Due to the large number of attendees on the pub crawl, and the limited capacity of venues, without this tshirt you unfortunately won't make it in (or get any discounts).

Conference runs for 7 days and is attended by over 500 students. It will have social events, careers events, education and speakers forums, an equity breakfast and a mental health cocktail function. Conference is a great week of fun and an event not to be missed!

In 2012 the ALSA Conference is once again heading south for a turn in Melbourne. Last held there in 2006, next year's Conference is shaping up to be one of the most jam-packed yet.

The Conference itself is being held in the CBD and is jointly hosted by all six Victorian Law Schools. That’s Deakin, La Trobe, Melbourne, Monash, RMIT and Victoria Universities. Competitions, Council and the Australian Legal Education Forums will therefore be spread across the city at the many city campuses.

Just a short 15 minute tram ride away is the accommodation. ALSA Conference is once again proud to be partnering with Mirvac to stay at our official accommodation sponsor, The Sebel & Citigate Albert Park Melbourne. This beautiful hotel is located just next to the picturesque Albert Park Lake (home of the Australian Formula One Grand Prix) and will provide our base for the week.

2012 will have plenty for the general delegates to sink their teeth into including day trips, legal education forums, speakers forums and workshops to help you hone your legal knowledge and skills. The theme of this year’s Conference is ‘Advancing Australia’s Future Leaders’ and will focus on how to ensure law students are well rounded, globally conscious citizens. This recognises that many delegates will go on to positions of leadership, not just in government, but also in legal and non-legal sectors.

Finally, Conference will, as always, have more social events that you could possible know what to do with, ensuring all delegates can not only work and rest but also play!
