    The Asian Law Students' Association Japan(ALSA Japan) is a non-profit, non-government, non-religious student organization. ALSA Japan was established in 1996, December 22nd after the visit of The European Law Students' Association and the Euro-Japan Law Students' Conference held in November of the same year. To achieve mutual understanding between Asian countries with various history and cultural backgrounds, we are conducting academic activity, cultural exchanges, and practical interactions with students in and outside Japan through the free position as a student, and the universality and diversity of law. At present, we have 4 Local Groups, and a total of 120 members.

Background

     In 1996, November, ELSA came to Japan and held a Japan-Europe conference. Being influenced by the fact that there are law students' associations in most of the regions such as Europe, Africa, Oceania, Southeast Asia, North America and South America, the Japanese law students who hosted the conference gathered together to organize a regional law students' association which is now ALSA Japan. The founders' association's idea was non-governmental, non-regional, and non-profitable.
