Every year in July, the ALSA Committee host a Conference at which up to 500 law students from Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia converge for a week of legal competitions, educational seminars, gala dinners and an array of social events.  It is one of the largest student conferences in Australia and the only conference of its kind for law students. Hosted through the combined efforts of all six Victorian Universities in 2012, the theme for the Conference is 'Advancing Australia's Future Leaders'.

UTS has a proud history of representation at the July ALSA Conference, from successful performances in legal competitions, contribution at ALSA Council meetings or networking at social events. The Conference is home to the national finals of six legal competitions. Over 350 legal professionals evaluate the performance of our competitors each year ranging from solicitors to Chief Justices .  In 2011 UTS students performed superbly with our Mooters and Negotiators reaching the Quarter Finals and Paper Presentation reaching the Grand Final.

The 2012 July ALSA Conference will be held in Melbourne. The LSS will be selecting a delegation to represent UTS, made up of ALSA Councillors, competitors who have won a senior competition and general delegates.  General Delegates will not only represent UTS to the best of their ability, but whom are reflective of the entire student body and the values and ideals that both UTS and the LSS espouse.

In 2012, the LSS will be represented on the ALSA Council by Emma Bechara as President of the LSS, and Ashley Radich as Vice President (Education).
