ASLI organises an annual academic conference held by its founding member institutions on a rotating basis. These conferences examine contemporary legal issues of interest to Asian jurisdictions and gather scholars and experts from the member institutions as well as from Asia and beyond.

The inaugural conference, hosted by the National University of Singapore Faculty of Law, was held on 27th and 28th May 2004. In subsequent years, the annual conferences have been held at Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok (2005); East China University of Politics and Law, Shanghai (2006); Universitas Indonesia, Jakarta (2007); National University of Singapore Faculty of Law (2008); University of Hong Kong (2009); International Islamic University of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur (2010); Kyushu University, Fukuoka (2011); National University of Singapore Faculty of Law (2012); National Law School of India University, Bengaluru (2013); University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur (2014); National Taiwan University, Taipei (2015); Peking University Law School, Beijing (2016); University of the Philippines, College of Law, Manilla (2017); Seoul National University, School of Law (2018); National University of Singapore Faculty of Law (2019); National Law University, Delhi (2020); Universitas Pelita Harapan, Indonesia (2021); The University of Tokyo, Graduate Schools for Law and Politics (2022); National University of Singapore Faculty of Law (2023); and Chulalongkorn University Faculty of Law, Bangkok (2024).

ASLI welcomes academics and intellectuals from within and outside Asia to present papers. The conference is also open to all who would want to attend without presenting a paper. We encourage individuals to use the conference as a platform for scholars interested in Asia-related legal issues to come together and exchange ideas, as well as to form close working and personal relationships.

East China University of Political Science and Law will host the 22^nd Annual ASLI Conference in May 2025. We look forward to welcoming you to Shanghai on Wednesday 28^th and Thursday 29^th May 2025.
