Journal of European Tort Law

Aims & Scope

The Journal of European Tort Law (JETL) is the first law review to be dedicated to this important and dynamic area of European private law.

It aims to contribute to the analysis and development of tort law in Europe by the publication of scholarly articles, comments and reviews.

It has a primarily comparative focus, but willingly embraces all scholarly perspectives, including economic analysis of law and legal sociology.

Its subject matter extends beyond substantive tort law to the wider tort system, including private and social insurance.

JETL is the journal of the European Centre of Tort and Insurance Law (ECTIL) and the Institute for European Tort Law of the Austrian Academy of Sciences.

Both are amongst the most prestigious institutions in the field of comparative Tort Law worldwide.
