ANJeL Affiliates

 

The Asian Law Centre (ALC) of the University of Melbourne, the oldest centre for the study of Asian legal systems in the Southern Hemisphere, joined ANJeL as Inaugural Affiliate in May 2004. The affiliation builds on cross-promotion and joint-sponsoring synergies between ANJeL and ALC.

 

The German-Japanese Association of Jurists (Deutsch-Japanische Juristenvereinigung) was welcomed as ANJeL's second affiliate in October 2004. Founded in 1988, it has approximately 700 members — individuals, firms, and organisations like ANJeL — in Germany, Japan and world-wide. ANJeL collaborates in promoting the multi-lingual Zeitschrift fuer Japanisches Recht / Journal of Japanese Law, with two co-directors on the editorial board. Mutual membership is encouraged, particularly to obtain hard copies of the journal, and collaboration is also envisaged relating to symposiums particularly in Japan.

ANJeL welcomes the Faculty of Law at the University of New South Wales, which was a founding institution of ANJeL in 2003, in the new capacity of ANJeL’s third Affiliate. The Faculty retains many links with Japan, in particular through its generous support of ANJeL’s Judges-in-Residence program.
