The General Assembly is the leading statutory organ of the AEAJ.

The General Assembly is summoned at least once a year. It usually takes place after the seminar of the WG Independence and Efficiency, at the same location.

The General Assembly accepts new members and observers, elects Board members, fixes membership fees, and approves the reports from the board and the treasurer.

Each AEAJ member gets one vote at the General Assembly. If several members come from the same country, this country may only express a single vote.
