Once you meet me at the Conference I will have completed my Bachelor of Laws and Legal Practise (Hons) with Flinders University.

This year’s conference will have an Adelaide spin, and you will be able to experience some of the iconic features of Adelaide. I welcome you to direct any questions to either the ALSA Committee, or the Conference subcommittee.

Delegate Welfare During Conference, we wish to emphasise the importance of taking time to look after yourself both mentally and physically. Conference can be an extremely full on week, both for Councillors and Competitors. It can be high pressure, high stress, and both mentally and physically exhausting. It is important to ensure you take the opportunity to look after yourself, both in and outside ALSA events. If you don’t feel like going out to drink, then don’t feel obligated to do so. If you feel like you need a break from a heated discussion in Conference, don’t hesitate to go and grab a snack and take some time out. During Conference, ALSA will be partnering with ADES Australia to run morning activities for Tuesday-Thursday of Conference. The ethos of their #mymorningsmatter program is all about increasing our own Well Being and changing alcohol culture by using our mornings more positively. Therefore, we hope these activities will encourage students to start their days with a positive attitude, feeling energised and motivated! It’s also important to take other people’s feelings into consideration, especially when you’re in an environment with alcohol. This means making sure that you aren’t making people feel uncomfortable, you’re helping contribute to events in a positive way and that you’re not subjecting someone to comments that they may not find appropriate. At Conference, the Head of each Delegation will be responsible for their students. If you are concerned about the behaviour of a member of your delegation, please do not hesitate to speak to your elected representative. Alternatively, if someone is making you or another student feel uncomfortable, or you would like to discuss an incident at Conference please contact me at [email protected] or call or text. I am always available for a coffee or a chat! Above all, we want Conference to be a safe and supportive environment for everyone! Mardi Grivas ALSA Vice-President (Education) 2018

Information for Councillors ALSA facilitates triannual Council meetings. These Councils are a body comprising of the ALSA Executive and Committee and two representatives from each LSS/LSA in Australia. As ALSA’s managing body, the Council discusses current issues in the ALSA administration as well as, and more importantly, national issues in legal education. The Council’s most important function is being a knowledge sharing forum for all LSS/LSA’s. These meetings include a number of workshops, seminars and breakouts on topics nominated by councillors based on issues they are facing. At Conference, Council will be held a Flinders University City Campus, located at Victoria Square Adelaide and commence at 9am each day. Lunch, morning tea and afternoon tea will be provided each day. As with February Council in Brisbane, July Council will also have a theme. This Council’s theme is “Education and Advocacy”. Although discussions at Council will not be strictly about these topics, we do suggest that your Presidents and Education Officers/VicePresidents will get the most benefit out of attending. Councillors are expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner at all times. We encourage robust discussion, however, please keep it respectful and pay attention. The Vice-President (Administration) and President will run a speaking list. To add your name, simply raise your hand. Each speaker will have 60 seconds. The President will always get the first and last position on the speaking list and the VPA retains the right to cut the speaking list at any time. If you have any topics that you wish to be added to Council Discussion, please email Jessica Popple at [email protected].
