The German Law Journal is a peer-reviewed,[1] online-only open access law journal which publishes articles in the areas of comparative, German, European and international law. It is edited by an international editorial board, as well as a group of student editors at the Washington and Lee University School of Law, and is published by Cambridge University Press.
The journal was established by Russell A. Miller and Peer Zumbansen in October 2000, while they were both working at the German Federal Constitutional Court. Originally an e-mail newsletter on developments in German law entitled Momentaufnahme, it was renamed German Law Journal once it moved from being an e-mail newsletter to a web newsletter in July 2001.[2]
The German Law Journal is a peer-reviewed, online-only open access law journal reporting on the developments in German, European and international jurisprudence.[3] It is published by Washington & Lee University School of Law.
Publication of the journal started in 2000. The journal was co-founded by its editor-in-chief, Russell A. Miller and Peer C. Zumbansen. The journal is published bi-monthly.
On the occasion of its 10th anniversary, the journal was honoured by the German Minister of Justice, Brigitte Zypries, for being an "ambassador of German law".[4]
Special issues[edit]
In addition to its regular monthly publications, from time to time the journal publishes special issues devoted to a particular developing topic in German, European, or international jurisprudence.[5] For example, in the past, the journal published special issues on "The Transnationalization of Legal Education", "The Transnationalization of Legal Cultures", and "Legal Positivism", among others.[5]
