Oslo Law Review

Aims & Scope

Oslo Law Review was established in 2014, and publishes research articles from all areas of legal scholarship, as well as interdisciplinary articles that engage with law from the perspective of other related disciplines (e.g. political science, anthropology, sociology, linguistics and philosophy).

Of special interest are articles that consider regulatory challenges arising from the interaction of national, supranational and international normative frameworks, for example in the context of the European Economic Area.

The journal aims to provide an open access forum for high quality academic discourse on legal issues.

Its remit includes discussing Norwegian and Nordic legal phenomena.

The journal’s target groups are legal scholars and other researchers with an interest in legal topics.

The journal may also be of interest to law students, practising lawyers, judges, political decision makers, the media and a broader reading public.

The journal publishes articles in English.

The journal is published by Scandinavian University Press (Universitetsforlaget) on behalf of the Faculty of Law at the University of Oslo.
