JICL, which began publication in June 2014, welcomes contributions on contemporary issues of law not only in the areas of international law and comparative law, but also national and regional legal developments which will be of interest to a much wider audience. It welcomes interdisciplinary contributions especially those that tangibly link such disciplines as social sciences, economics, international politics, media studies and other fields of research and academic debate that may be more empirically based but of major significance in influencing the focus and reform of law in its national and global contexts.
JICL invites contributions from established as well as young scholars on all areas of law, be they jurisprudential, historical, black-letter or contextual.
Full length articles provide an opportunity for in-depth analysis of legal issues which may be approached, inter alia, from an historical, social, economic or contextual perspective. Shorter contributions enable our authors to critically comment, relatively quickly, on recent legal developments. JICL will also publish book review articles giving the reviewer an opportunity to share their own thoughts on the subject matter of the reviewed book.
Currently we are receiving submissions for publication in 2025 ~ 2026. Submissions may be sent to Professor Anton Cooray at Anton.cooray.1@city.ac.uk to whom any inquiries may also be directed.
