The Australasian Law Teachers Association (ALTA) is a
professional body which represents the interests of law teachers in
Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and the Pacific Islands. ALTA seeks
to advance legal education (and the interests of law teachers) throughout
Australasia, and especially focuses on the encouragement of legal research
and the dissemination of its results. Membership is open to teachers of law
and law librarians in tertiary institutions in these countries.
Associate membership is open to former teachers of law and
other persons engaged in or associated with the teaching of, or research
into, law in these countries and to teachers of law in other countries in
the Asian and Pacific regions.
Message from
the Chair:
At the 60th annual ALTA
conference held in Hamilton, New Zealand, I was appointed Chair of ALTA's
General Executive. It is
a role that I am honoured to fulfil, and I will endeavour to continue the
improvements of our previous Chair, Michael Adams. Michael has seen many changes in ALTA
and I look forward to implementing his initiatives and pursuing new
developments with
the help of the ALTA General Executive, and very importantly, with you the
members. Our goal is to advance the interests of all members to promote
legal education.
I am delighted to announce that we currently have
968 members with some other prominent
Institutional members joining us. Please refer to this website for the
latest ALTA information and join us in the further development of legal education throughout
Australasia.
Professor Paul Moyle
