The "Bali Conference" as it is known, was launched back in 1987 at the Sanur Beach Hotel by local Darwin criminal practitioners.  Before you could say "not guilty" the concept had taken on a national flavour.

The Bali Conference now has the reputation of being Australia's premier criminal legal conference and attracts delegates from all jurisdictions in Australia and from overseas.
