American Society of Comparative Law

The American Society of Comparative Law (ASCL), formerly the American Association for the Comparative Study of Law, is a learned society dedicated to the study of comparative law, foreign law, and private international law.^[1] It was founded in 1951, and was admitted to American Council of Learned Societies in 1995.^[2] The ASCL is incorporated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.^{[citation needed]}

The ASCL publishes the American Journal of Comparative Law on a quarterly basis. It was established at the University of Michigan Law School^[3] in 1952, where ASCL Vice President and first Editor-in-Chief Hessel E. Yntema was a professor. Yntema served as Editor-in-Chief until his death in 1966. The journal moved from Michigan to the University of California, Berkeley, in 1971,^[4] but returned in 2003.
