Public Events

The Asian Law Centre hosts a range of activities relevant to academics, students and the general community:

Occasional Seminar Series

The Asian Law Centre regularly hosts seminars by leading scholars and practitioners on current Asian legal issues.  These are high-profile events, which are regularly attended by scholars, legal practitioners and students. 

Brown Bag Seminar Series

The ‘Brown Bag’ Seminars are held on alternate Wednesday lunchtimes. In this series, postgraduates and academics who are researching and writing on Asian legal topics present a 45 minute paper, followed by questions and discussion. 

The paper can either be work in progress or a more polished presentation rehearsing a conference paper or article submission.  The forum provides a collegial atmosphere where paper-givers are provided feedback from their peers.

 

The ALC Brown Bag Seminar Series is proudly supported by Blake Dawson Lawyers. 

Asian Legal Dialogues

The Asian Law Centre 'Asian Legal Dialogues' were a new initiative of the Asian Law Centre in 2004.  These seminars on Asian issues are conducted in Asian languages. 

Comparative Law Seminar Series

In 2004, the Centre launched its Comparative Law Seminar Series. This is a major series that brings specialists in comparative law to Melbourne to speak on current issues in comparative law and socio-legal theory, focusing on its application to Asia. This reflects the importance of these methodologies for the work of the Asian Law Centre, where all members and research assistants deal with comparative law on a daily basis and are deeply engaged with the theoretical implications this presents for their work.  

Annual Conference

The Asian Law Centre hosts an annual conference, focusing on a different area of Asian legal studies each year.
