This CRN brings together students from a spread of disciplines whose focus is the position of emotion in the authorized system. At its core is the assumption that emotion—and attitudes about emotion—pervade authorized thought and authorized establishments. Although the legal system traditionally regarded emotion as a hindrance to rational thought, the current consensus in psychology, neuroscience, sociology, anthropology and other fields studying choice-making is that emotion is an integral part of the reasoning process.

It welcomes scholars researching on East Asia, and others wishing to counterpoint their research and theories with findings from the area. Sessions organized by the CRN welcome papers on any features or problems with legislation and society in East Asia. This CRN began to carry a biennial regional assembly under the title of East Asian Law & Society Conference in 2010 and is now holding a regional assembly every year after the 4th regional assembly in Tokyo, Japan in 2015. Such regional meetings have been held in Singapore in 2016, Taiwan in 2017, and Australia in 2018.
