Comparative Law Review

Aims & Scope

“Comparative Law Review” (ISSN 0866-9449) („CLR”) is an open access, peer-reviewed and refereed international journal published by the Faculty of Law and Administration at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń (Poland) since 1989 (with some intervals). The scope of „CLR” includes both private and public law, with particular focus on comparative studies. The Editors encourage authors to submit articles and shorter notes that are interdisciplinary in nature and/or analyse a legal problem from a comparative perspective. We particularly welcome proposals elaborating on how the comparative method is applied in domestic and international law-making and jurisprudence. Consequently, we invite original contributions on public international law and EU law. By the same token, we welcome papers dealing with all fields of domestic law, legal theory and philosophy, as well as history of law. The journal is published in both print and online versions. It is a diamond open access journal, thus the articles published in CLR are easily searchable on the Internet (via Google Scholar, BASE, etc.). The journal does not have any article processing charges (APCs), article submission charges (ASCs) and no charges for open-access policy for the authors or their institutions. CLR publishes scientific articles, case notes, commentaries, case studies and book reviews. We welcome contributions in English only. Between 2013 and 2016 the CLR has been published bi-annually (vols. 15-22). Since 2017 CLR is a yearbook with one volume published by the end of the year.
