Commonwealth Law Bulletin

Aims & Scope

The Commonwealth Law Bulletin aims to educate and inform readers about legal developments throughout the Commonwealth and serves as a forum for the assessment of emerging issues in the law.

The Commonwealth Law Bulletin, first published in 1974, is the flagship publication of the Rule of Law Division of the Commonwealth Secretariat.

A comprehensive periodical of the law and legal affairs, the Bulletin is a refereed journal that provides essential reading for Commonwealth jurists wishing to keep abreast of latest developments and reflexions on legal issues arising in Commonwealth countries.

The Bulletin also publishes the outcome of meetings organised by the Rule of Law Division of the Commonwealth Secretariat, which address topical legal issues in Commonwealth jurisdictions.

The Bulletin helps foster harmonised approaches to emerging legal issues throughout the Commonwealth.

Forty years after its first issue, the Commonwealth Law Bulletin remains more relevant than ever.

It offers a unique forum for jurists sharing a common law background to inform their colleagues of developments in their justice systems.
