Overview

CILIS is devoted to the study of Indonesian law and Islamic legal studies.

CILIS is closely linked to the Melbourne Law School's Asian Law Centre (ALC), as CILIS has grown out of the ALC's longstanding programmes on Indonesian law, and Professor Tim Lindsey remains an Associate Director of the ALC.

CILIS runs numerous research activities throughout the year, including:

• Public Lectures presented by high-profile speakers, these seminars are relevant to academics, government and business organisations, as well as the community.
• Research Seminars open to the public, but are usually attended by the University community. Students are able to gain feedback on their current research, while contributing to the continued research in Islamic legal studies.
• Annual Conference Islamic Studies Postgraduate Conference in conjunction with the National Centre of Excellence for Islamic Studies. This conference is open to students both locally and internationally, who are researching Islam-related topics. Information on the annual conference is usually available from mid-June each year.
