Focus and Scope

The Utrecht Law Review is an open access, peer-reviewed journal which aims to offer an international academic platform for cross-border legal research. In the first place, this concerns research in which the boundaries of the classic branches of the law (private law, criminal law, constitutional and administrative law, European and public international law) are crossed and connections are made between these areas of the law, amongst others from a comparative law perspective. In addition, the journal welcomes research in which classic law is brought face to face with not strictly legal disciplines such as philosophy, economics, political sciences and public administration science. Please contact the managing editor if you are not sure whether your research falls into these categories.

The Utrecht Law Review was established in 2005 and is affiliated to the Utrecht University School of Law. The editorial board consists of renowned and young researchers, representing the various disciplines at the School of Law, and two student members. Academic quality and the international character of the journal are guaranteed by the scientific council, which consists of national and foreign experts in all branches of legal science. All academic articles that are submitted are subjected to anonymous peer review.

Registered readers of the journal will receive calls for papers by e-mail. To register, go to register in the top bar.
