Welcome to the website of the European Criminal Law Association - ECLA(UK)
The European Criminal Law Association (ECLA UK) is an unincorporated association of practitioners, academics and others interested in the emerging body of European Criminal law - a body which will not be going away on Brexit day and which many of us will continue to need (or want) to keep an eye on for many years to come. We have been going since 1980 and we intend to continue to study, discuss and provide information on the development of the criminal law in Europe by means of seminars, publications and this website. If you are not a member, you can join simply and cheaply.
