Posted on Friday, March 21, 2003 - 08:00 PM

The Asian Law Institute (ASLI) was established on 21 March 2003 by a group of leading law schools in Asia . Its goal is to facilitate academic exchanges as well as research and teaching collaboration among colleagues from the twelve founding institutions.

The acronym "ASLI", which means "indigenous" in the Malay and Indonesian languages, is all the more appropriate as it represents the commitment of the founding institutions to establish a truly home-grown law institute in Asia.

The founding institutions of ASLI are:
* Faculty of Law, Chulalongkorn University ( Bangkok , Thailand )
* East China University of Politics and Law ( Shanghai , People's Republic of China )

* Faculty of Law, University of Indonesia ( Jakarta , Indonesia )
* Ahmad Ibrahim Kulliyyah of Laws, International Islamic University of Malaysia ( Kuala Lumpur , Malaysia )
