AIJA is the only global association devoted to lawyers and in-house counsel aged 45 and under. Since 1962 AIJA provides outstanding international opportunities for young lawyers to network, learn and develop. AIJA currently has a community of over 6,000 people in 100+ different countries, including over 60 collective members and Bar Associations. The AIJA community is very diverse, with members coming from law firms of all sizes and cultures, as well as in-house counsel, in both the private and public sectors. The activities of AIJA are coordinated by 18 academic commissions, in charge of organising our events all around the globe and keeping members up to the date in their respective areas of practice. AIJA is committed to defend and take active part in promoting core legal principles, such as the rule of law and human rights principles. We respect the integrity of each civilised society of the world and aim to advance cross-cultural understanding among members and other participants in the legal profession.
