The Australian and New Zealand Law and History Society was formed in 1993.  It is an interdisciplinary group of scholars who share an interest in the connnections between law and history.  The society grew out of the annual Law in History Conferences, which have been running since 1982.  Members of the society include historians, lawyers, academics and others interested in the area.  Most of the members live in Australia or New Zealand, but their areas of interest are not confined to the law in those places.

The Society publishes a bulletin twice each year, which contains details of the annual conferences and meetings, and lists publications which members might find interesting.

The Society offers an annual prize for the best undergraduate essay on law and history presented at an Australian or New Zealand university.  For details, click here.
