		As well, the ALRC can ensure that different perspectives are heard and that reform proposals are not only tailored to the voices of officials and powerful interest groups but also respond to the needs for law reform as viewed by consumers and ordinary citizens.
		The willingness of the ALRC Commissioners to engage, through the media, in consultation with the general public was an important innovation in law reform technique pioneered by the ALRC.
		When the ALRC was established in 1975 it was natural that the long-standing institutions such as the courts, the departments of state, the universities and elsewhere should view the Commission with a measure of caution, even suspicion.

	AUSTRALIAN LAW REFORM COMMISSION CONFERENCE SYDNEY, 19 MAY, 2000
		The Australian Law Reform Commission’s recently published review of the federal civil justice system [1], which is a notable contribution to modern studies of practical issues relating to the administration of justice, needs to be understood in a wider context.One of the purposes of this Conference is to assist such an understanding.
		Viewed in the Australian context, the first thing to be noted about ALRC 89 is that its subject, the federal civil justice system, is an important, but also a relatively new, and in some respects distinctive, part of the Australian justice system.
		Case management is now accepted practice throughout Australian courts.Judicial officers are no longer willing to leave it to the parties and their lawyers to decide the pace at which cases will be made ready for trial, and they acknowledge, within limits, a responsibility to intervene, where necessary and appropriate, in the progress of cases.

	Voice and Support: Programs for Children Experiencing Parental Separation and Divorce (2004-FCY-2E) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		For example, the Australian Association of Social Workers told the Australian Law Reform Commission's inquiry into children's voice in custody and access that one of the results of counselling for many children is that they say they want their parents to leave them out of the dispute (Australian Law Reform Commission 1997a).
		Australian courts also report that, when they are involved, family reports either prompt settlement before final hearing, or are followed by judges 76 percent of the time (Australian Law Reform Commission 1997a).
		The Commission concluded that "it is important to remember that a family report may not adequately discharge the obligation under CROC to provide children who desire to participate directly in proceedings with an opportunity to be heard as required" (Australian Law Reform Commission 1997a).

	PM - Law Reform report slams govt immunity
		Australia Law Reform Commissioner Brian Opeskin [phonetic] says as the law stands it's one rule for the government and another for the ordinary citizen, and by its use of immunities the government has the upper hand.
		Some attempts have been made to reform that over the years by legislation but the advice we received in our consultations was that the operation of the legislation is unclear and desperately in need of reform.
		BRIAN OPESKIN: Well, currently under the law you'd initiate proceedings in the normal way but what might happen is that in the course of litigation you might inadvertently run up against a range of common law immunities that many citizens may not have known existed.

		The Community Law Reform Committee of the Australian Capital Territory was established in June 1990.
		The Committee agrees with the recommendations of the Commission that the defence of contributory negligence should be abolished in both breach of statutory duty cases and fatal accident cases.
		Despite a number of reforms having been implemented as a result of these processes, most of the recommendations of both the Law Reform Commission of the ACT and the Australian Law Reform Commission received little attention prior to self-government.

		The QUT Law Faculty is an acknowledged leader in legal and justice education innovations, particularly in terms of its skills development program and the embedding of "graduate capabilities".
		Over the course of the last decade, both nationally and internationally, law and justice educators have been under increasingly pressure from their graduates, employers, professional admission bodies, the practising profession and the judiciary to ensure the relevance of a modern legal and justice education to professional practice specifically and the global workplace generally.

		Consistent with its general approach to freedom of information legislation, which was the subject of the Australian Law Reform Commission’s Report No. 77, ALRC 85 adopts as its basic premise the recognition of a right of access, with clearly defined exceptions and a right of review.
		Because we have a written Constitution, the sphere of constitutional law is generally identified with exegesis of the terminology of the written document.
		It is one of the most innovative aspects of the legislative package of administrative law measures which, to a substantial degree, was otherwise only reflective of developments in the common law.

		The Full Federal Court held that a failure as a matter of choice to exercise the right to extend the cover of the policy by notifying the insurer of the relevant occurrence would be an omission to which section 54 would apply.
