Coalition of Australian Law Administrators

What is COALA?

COALA is the Coalition of Australian Law Administrators, a body established to further the professional management of law schools throughout Australia. An extensive email network (LAWNET) has been established and a conference is held yearly. Membership is open to all relevant managerial staff in Australian law schools and is free of charge. Anyone wishing to join should contact Vicki Kendros.

Next Conference

The next conference is scheduled for late 2013 in Wollongong.

History

The Coalition of Australian Law Administrators (COALA) began after a group of law administrators met at an ATEM (formerly AITEA) conference in 1994. The first gathering of COALAS was held in 1995 and a meeting has been held each year since then. COALA has proven valuable as a professional forum for tertiary administrative staff working in Law Schools throughout Australian. COALA membership currently includes 36 staff from 25 different Law Schools.

Contact List

Existing COALA members can also use LAWNET to email all other members.
