This article explores what makes the study of comparative legal systems in Asia distinctive and important. It explores why a comparative study of the legal systems in Asia contributes to the growth of a strong comparative law tradition and legal research. The article suggests that the seven concepts and methods stated by Siems (2019) can be applied to systematically undertake comparative legal research with regards to the legal systems in Asia. The specific features that shape the context of Southeast Asia and Asia in general must be clearly defined and addressed. Finally, this paper discusses how the Southeast Asian example may be instructive because it can help highlight the importance of teaching comparative law in other parts of the world.
