Aims & Scope

The Cambridge Law Journal publishes articles on all aspects of law.

Special emphasis is placed on contemporary developments, but the journal's range includes jurisprudence and legal history.

An important feature of the journal is the Case and Comment section, in which members of the Cambridge Law Faculty and other distinguished contributors analyse recent judicial decisions, new legislation and current law reform proposals.

The articles and case notes are designed to have the widest appeal to those interested in the law - whether as practitioners, students, teachers, judges or administrators - and to provide an opportunity for them to keep abreast of new ideas and the progress of legal reform.

Each issue also contains an extensive section of book reviews.
