ABOUT
CRN33-EALS Law
and society in East Asia are currently in the midst of rapid and fundamental
changes. This provides fertile grounds for socio-legal research.
Using the momentum provided by these changes, the Collaborative
Research Network East Asian Law and Society (CRN-EALS) was formed within the Law and Society Association
(LSA) to provide a forum for promoting research on East Asian law and
society, and disseminating its findings to a wider community of socio-legal
scholarship. Both Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia are covered under
CRN- EALS. Its members are made up of scholars researching on East
Asia, and others wishing to enrich their research and theories with findings
from the region. As of May 2010, CRN-EALS has over 200 members. CRN-EALS
organizes sessions at the annual meetings of the LSA. Papers on any
aspects or issues of law and society in East Asia are welcome. CRN- EALS
is also envisioned to grow into an institutional base for the holding of
regional LSA meetings on a regular basis. With this vision, it has held
its Inaugural East Asian Law and
Society Conference in Hong Kong on 5-6 February 2010,
jointly with the Faculty of Law, the University of Hong Kong and its Second East
Asian Law and Society Conference on 30
September – 1 October 2011 at Yonsei University in
Seoul, Korea. Both the Inaugural
and the Second East Asian Law and Society Conferences were highly successful. In each occasion, over 150 delegates
from many places around the world (such as China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan,
Singapore, Australia, Sweden, and USA etc.) have participated. The Third
East Asian Law and Society Conference will be held on 22-23 March 2013 in
KoGuan Law School, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China.
CRN-EALS looks forward to seeing another successful conference in Shanghai,
China (details to be announced in due course). The
organizers of CRN-EALS are: Setsuo Miyazawa (Aoyama
Gakuin University, Japan), Kay-Wah
Chan (Macquarie University, Australia), and Yoshitaka Wada (Waseda University, Japan). Activities
of CRN-EALS are organized by its Planning
Committee, which is made up of members from
different countries. NEWS
