The International Institute for the Sociology of Law (IISL) in Oñati in the Spanish Basque Country is the only international institute for legal sociology .

The IISL is a joint establishment of the Research Committee on Sociology of Law (the International Sociological Association ) and the Basque Government. It was opened in 1989 on the premises of the University of Oñati , closed in 1901 . The first director of the IISL, André-Jean Arnaud , placed bronze plaques on the walls of the Renaissance building with the names of some of the founding fathers and precursors of modern legal sociology: Montesquieu , Henry Sumner Maine , Francisco Giner de los Ríos , Achille Loria , Henri Lévy -Bruhl , Émile Durkheim , Max Weber , Leon Petrażycki , Eugen Ehrlich , Karl Renner , Karl N.

The institute houses the world's best library / documentation of legal sociological literature. It organizes workshops on a wide variety of socio-legal topics, as well as an international Master's program in legal sociology. The publications resulting from the workshops will be published in an English-language or Spanish-language series. A series of online publications has been added since 2011 (Oñati Socio-Legal Series).
