The Association for Legal and Social Philosophy was founded in 1972 as a forum to debate philosophical issues of legal, moral and social concern.  Today, members come from academic departments of philosophy, law and political science.  Since its inception, the Society has organised an annual conference, and these have grown considerably in size and visibility in recent years.  Occasional one-day workshops on issues of topical interest are also convened and members of society also received an AHRC research network award to consider religion justice and public policy under the joint AHRC/ESRC religion and society programme.

These pages give details of past and forthcoming events of the Society, as well as details of how to join (see membership page).

The Association also produces a quarterly journal, Res Publica.
