About ISCLH
The International Society for Chinese Law and History (ISCLH) was formed on January 1, 2014, after several years of consultation and careful preparation.
The Society has been established to promote more regular exchanges of ideas and fruitful collaboration among all scholars across the world who are interested in better understanding Chinese law and society from historical and comparative perspectives. We plan to organize a series of workshops, international conferences, and publication projects on a regular basis. Our Society has grown rapidly and our registered members now include almost 140 researchers from more than ten different countries in multiple continents.
If you are interested in joining the ISCLH, please visit the Membership page or contact the ISCLH Secretary or President (listed on the Governance page). We look forward to your participation and support!
Please also remember to visit our pages on Conferences and Publications for updates about the most recent events and scholarship in the field.
The Team
The governance structure of ISCLH has been stipulated in the By-Laws of the Society. The Bylaws were approved unanimously by the Society’s founding members and then amended on July 11, 2015. The following Society officers were elected in the fourth election held in late 2021. Their term of service lasts from January 1, 2022 to December 30, 2023.
