About us
History
LSAANZ was established and incorporated on 8 December 2006 at its annual Law and Society Conference. The objective was to provide a more permanent presence and concentration for the study of law and society in Australia and New Zealand.
Purpose
The purpose of LSAANZ is to promote and foster scholarship broadly focusing on the interactions and intersections between law and society. LSAANZ does this by running, in conjunction with other organisations, centres and universities, its annual Law and Society Conference and other similar events.
