The Law and Society Association (LSA) will host its Annual Meeting from May 28 to 31, 2026, at the Hilton San Francisco Union Square in San Francisco, California. This in-person conference brings together scholars, practitioners, and students from around the world to engage in interdisciplinary discussions on law and society.

The 2026 meeting centers on the theme "Sanctuary," exploring the concept of refuge and safety within legal and societal contexts. Attendees can expect a diverse array of sessions, including paper presentations, roundtable discussions, and "Author Meets Reader" panels, covering topics such as legal theory, policy analysis, and socio-legal research methodologies.

In addition to academic sessions, the conference offers networking opportunities through informal discussions and professional development panels. The event also features an exhibition area where organizations can showcase their work and publications to a global audience.

This conference is ideal for socio-legal scholars, legal practitioners, policymakers, and students seeking to deepen their understanding of the interplay between law and society. Participants will benefit from engaging with a diverse community, gaining insights into current research, and contributing to ongoing dialogues in the field.
