CLTA Background

In 1994 a number of university teachers of corporate law agreed to form a specialist unincorporated association to help its Australasian members. The CLTA has developed out of the attendees at a number of corporate law teachers conferences and the Australasian Law Teachers Association (ALTA) "Company Law Interest Group".

The first conference was hosted by the University of New South Wales in 1991, to enable all corporate law teachers to come to terms with the introduction of the "new" Corporations Law in Australia. This successful conference was followed in 1992 by the University of Canberra. In 1993 the conference was hosted by the Queensland University of Technology and in 1994 the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS). At the UTS conference the delegates agreed to establish a steering committee to establish a formal association. Professor Paul Redmond (UNSW) was elected President of that committee and the CLTA.
