The journal aims to publish new work of the highest calibre across the full range of legal scholarship, including work in the history, philosophy, and sociology of law. The journal's editorial policy is to favour contributions which will be of interest to a wide cross-section of its readership - contributions which, if specialised, nevertheless serve to bring out matters of broader interest or importance within their specialisation.
