HISTORY OF
ALSA INDONESIA
ALSA Indonesia is a full and founding member of ALSA, tracing its roots to the 1989 formation of the ASEAN Law Students’ Association along with students from Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines.
Ever since, ALSA Indonesia has been on every journey and has been growing rapidly. Since 2002, when we progressed from only making great things happen in the ASEAN region to building unlimited networks with our friends in other parts of Asia, we became the organization we are today: the Asian Law Students’ Association. Law students from the Faculty of Law, in 15 member universities, are eligible to become ALSA Indonesia Members.
ALSA INDONESIA
As a National Chapter, ALSA Indonesia is well-respected for its contributions to developing ALSA internationally and maintains a reputation for organizing so many diverse and beneficial programs each year.
ALSA Indonesia has also been credited with fostering closer cooperation between students from all law faculties by increasing opportunities for its members to collaborate, build friendships, and share networks.
With more than 7000 active members and 9000 alumni, ALSA Indonesia has been setting an example of how students are and should be prepared to fit into the global era. Its diverse traditions and various characteristics among Local Chapter never prevent all the elements of the organization from gathering in one harmoniously united entity, ALSA Indonesia.
