The Edinburgh Law Review publishes articles on legal theory, governance, and specific areas of law. Recent articles examine the evolution of legal concepts like negotiorum gestio in French law and the application of the 'comply or explain' approach in higher education governance. The journal also features discussions on negligence in English law, the philosophical relevance of characterography, and the concept of neo-presentism in international legal scholarship.
