ALSA is an international association of socio-legal scholars with an Asian perspective on law and society research. ALSA was officially established at the East Asian Law and Society Conference 2015, held at Waseda University, Japan, from August 4–7, 2015.

Since then, ALSA’s membership has grown steadily, including members based in more than 30 countries and regions. These include Australia, Belgium, Canada, China (Mainland), Germany, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Nepal, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, the United States, Vietnam, and others. The executive office is currently housed at Waseda University, Japan.

ALSA aims to foster scholarship on law and society in Asia and to engage the broader global research community. It stands at an opportune moment to help develop Asian law and society research into a vibrant and cohesive research field. Its annual meetings provide a platform to define the field, advance theory, and cultivate empirical work and new scholarship.
