The 2007 ALTA Conference is to be hosted by the Law Schools of the University of Western Australia, Murdoch University, Edith Cowan University and the University of Notre Dame. The campus of the University of Western Australia is located on the banks of the beautiful Swan River, less than 4 km from the Perth CBD. The Theme for the Conference is: “Law and Public Policy: Taming the Unruly Horse?” ALTA 2007 is an opportunity for Law teachers and other legal professionals (including librarians, administrators, publishers, practitioners, policy makers) to gather together and consider the role of the law as an instrument of public policy in areas as diverse as: the Environment and Resource Development; Consumers; Indigenous Peoples; Crime; Families; and Competition and Corporate Regulation. As in previous years, the ALTA Conference will consist of a number of plenary sessions on the conference theme and also interest group sessions. Interest Groups The Conference organisers are keen to encourage papers to be presented at the interest group sessions. Papers reflecting the broad theme of the conference are particularly encouraged. However, Law teachers and other participants are also invited to present on other topics relevant to all the various interest groups. We want to see as many participants as possible. Information about the various ALTA interest groups is available on the ALTA website. The Conference programme will include a Reception and two Dinners. Details will be placed on the website in the coming weeks. Given the location of Perth and the UWA campus there will be optional day excursions to some of the main tourist attractions in and about Perth including: Kings Park, Rottnest Island, the Swan Valley Wineries and Perth’s beaches.
