October in summary

The Australia Law Teachers Association (ALTA) conference in Perth was very informative and productive as usual, I presented a paper based on research that I had done with two colleagues into improving outcomes for commerce/business students in their core law unit.

As is often the case with such gatherings, much of the benefit comes from the informal associations that are established and developed.  John Selby from Macquarie University and I took some tentative first steps in providing a forum to further co-operation and sharing between legal academics involved in teaching law to commerce/business students - very formative, early days at present - but the forum will be at www.buslawforum.com.
