The American Society for Legal History offers numerous benefits for scholars of legal
history. The society holds annual conferences to foster intellectual development in legal history worldwide. While the organization is primarily based within the United States, its membership and its scope are international.
Members receive Law & History Review, America's leading legal history journal as well as
access to back issues online at historycooperative.org and
JSTOR. The journal covers Anglo-American,
Continental, ancient, and comparative legal history. Society members also enjoy a 30% discount
on the regular price of books in the Studies in Legal History series.
Members also receive our semi-annual newsletter.
Newsletters offer information about upcoming conferences, awards in legal history, as well as
opportunities within the field.
