WHO WE ARE
The SLSA is committed to advancing education and learning in the field of socio-legal studies. The Association funds research, recognises excellence through its annual prizes, provides opportunities for scholarly collaboration through its events and facilitates the dissemination of knowledge through its publications and Annual Conference. We also support students through discounted membership fees, a free annual Postgraduate Conference, bursaries and PHD Fieldwork Grants.
HISTORY
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 which 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.
Previous SLSA Officers
Many people have worked hard and given huge amounts of their time over the years to support the SLSA. This is a list of some of them, but there are many others.
