The Legal Humanities Association (LHA) is a new learned society. It aims to foster a community dedicated to cultural understandings of law. It nurtures humanities-inflected legal scholarship, seeking innovative forms of legal knowledge and analysis. The LHA will be a home for scholars, research students, and practitioners working across law, humanities, and cultural studies, and will welcome those who do not feel they have a place for their work within orthodox disciplinary scholarship or traditional law schools. While the LHA is UK-based, it is not UK-exclusive: membership is open to all who are interested, irrespective of geographic location.

The LHA will share news and community matters and facilitate a range of research activities, including major thematic and general conferences, smaller specialist workshops, collaborative research encounters, reading and discussion groups, and work-in-progress sessions, amongst other activities. This list is indicative, with the specific activities to be determined and administered by the Governance Committee once it is installed.
