The Ecclesiastical Law Society is an organization based in the United Kingdom that says it "exists to promote the study of ecclesiastical and canon law particularly in the Church of England and those churches in communion with it".[1] It was founded in 1987 to succeed Doctors' Commons.
The society sponsors periodic speakers and programmes, but its principal work is editing and publishing the Ecclesiastical Law Journal.
