The Society of Legal Scholars (SLS) is the learned society for those who teach law in a university or similar institution or who are otherwise engaged in legal scholarship. As of the beginning of 2016 the Society had over 3,000 members consisting of academic and practising lawyers in a wide variety of subject areas.[1] It has charitable status.

The SLS publishes one of the UK's leading generalist peer-reviewed law journals.[2]
