Quaestio Facti

Aims & Scope

Quaestio facti is an international journal on evidential legal reasoning, published electronically and in open access.

Its publisher and editor is the Cátedra de Cultura Jurídica of University of Girona and is distributed by Marcial Pons.

The journal's aim is to host and disseminate an analysis of the problems posed by evidential legal reasoning in the application of law, not only within the context of a judicial process, but also within the wide range of administrative proceedings.

As does evidential legal reasoning, Quaestio facti aspires to position itself within the boundaries of various disciplines, such as procedural law, legal epistemology, the international law of human rights, forensic sciences, as well as between the cultural ambits of the Common Law and the Civil Law traditions.

From the outset, it is important to emphasise that Quaestio facti is not a journal centred around the evidence law of one country or another.

This is why we only publish original works that touch upon general problems related to legal evidential reasoning.

These problems must exceed the scope of a mere discussion of interpretation issues or relevant judicial decisions regarding some evidence, statute or regulation of a concrete national legislation.

Quaestio facti is aimed at researches, scholars, students and readers from all over the world who are interested in the subject matter of the journal.

Quaestio facti is published biannually and it considers original works in Spanish, English, Italian and Portuguese, which are selected through a blind peer review process.
