BENEFITS OF BEING A MEMBER
The main purposes of the Association for Young Legal Historians are to serve continuity and better transfer of knowledge between the Members of the Association for Young Legal Historians (MAYLH) between two annual forums and to provide a continuous scientific exchange of research results between the members and young researchers’ platform for presentation of their research results in the field of legal history on the annual conferences. It also promotes the preservation and extension of legal history in Europe and beyond.
Through this homepage, the members of the association can lead discussions regarding their research and ask for help if it is needed.
Except for professors, the Association, as stated in its statutes, is open to all young legal historians. This exemption has been made to provide the possibility for young legal historians, who cannot present their ideas at other conferences, to share their research results and have them discussed with other legal historians without the watching eyes of tutors and mentors. Professors and institutions are only welcome as long-term members.
The annual Forum of Young Legal Historians is supported by the Association; therefore, the Statutes of the AYLH state that the general themes of the annual conferences should be specified wide enough to make it possible for every subject of the presentations to fit in. These annual forums are open to everyone interested in legal history, but not to a professor holding a chair in legal history. The presentations held at these annual forums are going to be published in the series “Yearbook of Young Legal History” by the Martin Meidenbauer Verlagsbuchhandlung in Munich. The association, having a permanent agreement with the publishing house, promotes the idea of having all the conference volumes published in the Yearbook series in order to have a bigger international attention focused on the paper presentations held at annual conferences and to serve the continuity of the annual conferences as well as the series of conference volumes. Members of the association can purchase the volumes of the yearbook at a reduced price of €29,90.
