Socio-Legal Studies Association

The Socio-Legal Studies Association was formed in 1990 in the UK. It grew out of the Socio-Legal Group which for some years had provided an annual forum for socio-legal scholars to meet and disseminate their work. However, it was felt that there was a need for a more permanent organisational structure that would help to keep scholars in touch with each other, providing regular channels of communication and promoting and supporting the work of socio-legal academics. In 2019, the SLSA registered as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (registered in England and Wales, number 1186333).
