Join GAJE

GAJE members include law teachers, law students, and others interested in supporting and promoting Justice Education around the world. Eligibility for GAJE membership is based on the organization’s Mission Statement:

GAJE is GLOBAL, seeking to involve persons from as many countries in the world as possible, avoiding domination by any single country, and especially committed to meaningful participation from less affluent countries, institutions, and organizations. GAJE is an ALLIANCE of persons committed to achieving JUSTICE through legal EDUCATION. Clinical education of law students is a key component of justice education, but this organization also works to advance other forms of socially relevant legal education, which includes education of practicing lawyers, judges, non-governmental organizations and the lay public.

The key components of the Mission Statement relevant to obtaining membership are “achieving justice through legal education” and advancing “socially relevant legal education.”  Accordingly, applicants for membership must demonstrate:

• Involvement with or demonstrated interest in achieving justice through legal education activities, such as legal clinics, street law programs, or collaboration with other social justice initiatives.
• Commitment to promoting more socially relevant legal education by developing or otherwise supporting enhanced social justice curricula, with a special emphasis on experiential learning projects.

NOTE: There are two types of GAJE membership: General Member and Voting Member.  General Memberships are available to anyone who is interested in supporting and promoting Justice Education around the world, according to the criteria set out above.   Applicants for Voting Membership must show, in addition:

• Participation in at least two of the following GAJE activities: attendance at a GAJE worldwide conference or regional activity supported by GAJE (such as regional conferences, TOTs, etc.); or active membership on a GAJE committee or working group.

Select your appropriate level of membership below.  You will then proceed to the proper membership application form. 

NOTE: Both types of GAJE memberships are free; however, GAJE members who can pay a voluntary fee are encouraged to do so. Voluntary membership fees can be paid online by clicking here .
