The ASLH is dedicated to enriching and expanding the field of legal history across time, around the world, and with a variety of methods. We accomplish this critical task in many different ways. The most important is our Annual Meeting, where scholars from around the world meet to exchange ideas and socialize. To insure diversity, the Society offers financial support to travel to the meeting to graduate students and foreign scholars who otherwise would be unable to attend.

The Society also supports a variety of innovative programs designed to assist early career scholars. The biennial J. Willard Hurst Institute welcomes advanced graduate students for a two-week seminar led by senior scholars. At the Hurst Institute, students receive feedback on dissertations from peers, as well as getting advice from distinguished mentors in the field.

The Society recently launched the Wallace Johnson First Book Program. A generous gift from Mr. Johnson has enabled the Society to support a diverse group of legal historians as they work on their first book, a key step to tenure and eminence in the field.  Through a year-long combination of in-person and video meetings, a senior scholar and other experts in their fields will advise Johnson Fellows as they prepare proposals and chapters for submission to scholarly presses.

The ASLH is a volunteer organization. Our members give their time and support to continue our legacy of excellence and build for the future. We urge you to become part of this endeavor, and to consider contributing to our annual fund. With the help of donors, our Society brings great scholarship and good fellowship to legal history. Thank you!

To support these activities, the Society relies on the generosity of its members.  Contributions may also be made by sending a check made out to “American Society for Legal History” to the following address:
