Laws (ISSN 2075-471X) is an international, peer-reviewed, quick-refereeing, scholarly, open access journal (free for readers), which publishes works from extensive fields including legal systems, legal theory, legal institutions, covering a broad range of legal subjects. To guarantee a rapid refereeing and editorial process, Laws follows standard publication practices in the natural sciences. A first decision is provided to authors approximately 19.8 days after submission; acceptance to publication is undertaken in 5.6 days.
Laws is a journal featuring rigorous scholarship on critical developments in governance, courts, agencies, and social order. Analysis and synthesis, theory and practice, and empirical and doctrinal work have appeared in the journal; contributions that bridge these traditional boundaries are particularly welcome. The social sciences and humanities generate insights both from and for the legal system. While theory grounds Laws in a timeless dialogue shaped by traditions of inquiry, legal practice ensures that scholars are addressing pressing problems. Both normative and positive scholarship can aid policymakers, judges, and agency officials. Laws brings together the work of theorists and practitioners, and a diverse range of empirical researchers, to promote the progress of foundational legal norms.
By taking this opportunity, we would like to invite you to contribute to Laws. You have the option to submit your work to a regular section or a Special Issue.
