Welcome to the South Asian Legal Scholarship Project website. South Asian Americans are one of the fastest growing minority groups in the legal profession. Members of the South Asian American legal community are in a unique position to influence and promote dialogue about issues affecting South Asian American communities.
The South Asian Legal Scholarship Project is currently a joint effort between the Asian Pacific American Law Journal at UCLA (APALJ) and the South Asian Law Student Association at UCLA, intended to encourage and promote continued writing about issues affecting South Asian American communities. As part of this effort, APALJ and the SALSA at UCLA invite all professors, attorneys, and students to submit original papers of interest relating to South Asian American communities for presentation at APALJ’s planned Spring 2008 Conference Symposium and publication in the Spring 2009 Symposium volume of APALJ, both focused on South Asian American Jurisprudence. NOTE, the Spring 2008 APALJ Conference Symposium and the 2008 NASALSA Conference will be joined and held at the same time in Los Angeles. Click on submissions for more information.
Although this effort is currently being led by APALJ and the SALSA at UCLA, the groups hope to benefit South Asian Americans around the country through increased education and advocacy. The effort has a growing list of nationwide supporters.
