The Legal Education Associate Deans Network Australia
Australian Legal Education Awards
The Legal Education Associate Deans' (LEAD) Network administers the annual ALEA awards, proudly sponsored by the Council of Australian Law Deans (CALD).
About the Network
The Law Associate Deans' Network was established in 2010. In September 2013 it was renamed the Legal Education Associate Deans Network (LEAD). It is comprised of the Associate Deans (Teaching and Learning) (or equivalent) of Australian Law Schools. The purpose of LEAD is to promote collaborative approaches to teaching and learning in Australian legal education. The Network intends to lead, encourage and document good practice in learning and teaching in the discipline of law and to create processes and strategies to sustain the network as a sub-Committee of the Council of Australian Law Deans (CALD). It previously received funding from the Office for Learning and Teaching (OLT), and now receives assistance from CALD.
For discussion about the rationale for the Network see the article by original Project Lead Kate Galloway 'Networking supports legal education', Campus Review (May 2012).
