The International Association for the Philosophy of Law and Social Philosophy (IVR) was founded in 1909 as the Internationale Vereinigung für Rechts- und Sozialphilosophie. The IVR is the world's central academic organization for the study and advancement of legal and social philosophy.

The primary activities of the IVR include a World Congress every two years,[1] publication of the international journal Archiv für Rechts- und Sozialphilosophie (ARSP), and the IVR Encyclopedia of the Philosophy of Law and Social Philosophy.

The seat of IVR is in Wiesbaden, in the Federal Republic of Germany.

The IVR is divided into autonomous national sections embracing most of the nations of the world. The American section of the International Association for the Philosophy of Law and Social Philosophy (Amintaphil) publishes to book series Amintaphil: The Philosophical Foundations of Law and Justice.

Many notable academics have served as president of the organization, including Neil MacCormick[2] (Scotland), Ulfrid Neumann (Germany), Enrico Pattaro (Italy), Eugenio Bulygin (Argentina) and Mortimer Sellers[3] (U.S.).
