The ASCL publishes the American Journal of Comparative Law on a quarterly basis. It was established at the University of Michigan Law School[3] in 1952, where ASCL Vice President and first Editor-in-Chief Hessel E. Yntema was a professor. Yntema served as Editor-in-Chief until his death in 1966. The journal moved from Michigan to the University of California, Berkeley, in 1971,[4] but returned in 2003.
