Comparative papers and papers devoted to interesting trends and issues in national law that reflect various global challenges and could inspire legal knowledge and its application in other countries are also welcomed. The Bratislava Law Review has adopted multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary, but also cross-disciplinary coverage.
