Greetings!
Dear Sir/Madam,
Greetings The Asian Law Students’ Association (ALSA) is a student-run, non-profit and non-political organization. From its first establishment since 2002, ALSA has risen to become one of the largest law students’ associations in the world, comprising of 16 National Chapters: Brunei, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, South Korea, Laos, Macau, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, and Myanmar including the 3 observers, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Cambodia. Each National Chapter comprises their respective Local Chapters within Asia’s top universities, law, and social science faculties. We have outreached 14,000 and counting members and observers which are increasing every year. In the international level, ALSA is a legitimized association which is regulated by the laws of Associations of Swiss Civil Code Articles 60 to 79, and thus having an official seat in Zurich, Switzerland.
The key visions of ALSA are :
1) focusing on a global vision on the promising future of Asia;
2) promoting an awareness of justice and the rule of law across Asia; and
3) facilitate the recognition of social responsibilities amongst law students in Asia.
ALSA is constantly progressing towards understanding and appreciating the diversity between various legal jurisdictions across Asia. It serves as a platform for Asian Law students to share the ideals of law in society through exchange and communication. In addition, we aim to motivate the law students to develop a creative and cohesive spirit within the network, and enhance their capabilities to become internationally minded, socially responsible, academically committed, and legal skilled which are the four pillars of ALSA International.
Indeed, ALSA would not have reached today’s status without the strong support and significant assistance of our partners. Thus, we would like to welcome you and invite you to become one of our partners to open-up a new horizon of opportunities for law students across Asia.
For your interest, please do not hesitate to contact me at president@alsainternational.org. We are willing to assist you for further inquiries or guide you for the working of mutual understanding and agreement. ALSA always strives for a mutually beneficial relationship with our partners and sponsors, your institution will have the opportunity to participate in ALSA’s activities and gain direct access to our networks to promote your brand to law students across Asia.
INTRODUCTION TO ALSA
Formally established in 2002, the association is a merger between the previous ASEAN law students association, as well as the East Asian law students association, which were two student bodies that had similar goals of fostering stronger ties and greater understanding of the different legal systems among its member Asian countries. Recognizing their common goals, as well as the ever increasing onset of globalization in the region, these two associations signed an agreement in 2002, thus forming ALSA into the organization that is known to be today.
