Its membership is open to law schools which provide for the teaching of Comparative law; and institutions and organisations which are concerned with the promotion of the comparative study of law. It arranges regular colloquia on Comparative law; most colloquia papers have been published.

The Committee is run by a Council overseen by an elected Chairman. Business is carried out by two joint honorary secretaries and a treasurer.
