The Asian Legal History Association (‘ALHA’) brings together universities, faculties and research institutions from around Asia and the world with three goals:

• • to promote the study and knowledge of transnational legal history generally;
  • to enhance the status and role of Asia as a generator and hub of global legal history knowledge; and
  • to develop collaborative relationships between universities in Asia and around the world.

The ALHA serves at as a network and a platform, enabling a range of activities. The ALHA’s premier events are the Asian Legal History Conferences, which have been held annually every year since 2021. The ALHA engages in and supports a range of other activities as well, including:

• • occasional conferences, symposia, workshops and talks, in person and online, aimed at promoting the study of transnational legal history;
  • sharing information on new publications, talks, and other events and opportunities in the area of transnational legal history; and
  • supporting collaborative research activities related to transnational legal history.
