The society sponsors periodic speakers and programmes, but its principal work is editing and publishing the Ecclesiastical Law Journal.
The society publishes the Ecclesiastical Law Journal three times each year through the Cambridge University Press.[2] The journal is a scholarly collection of original editorials, articles, comments, parliamentary and conference reports, book reviews, and case notes of decisions from the English ecclesiastical courts. The journal enjoys a distinguished international editorial board.
