The European Society for Comparative Legal
History (ESCLH) has agreed with Hart Publishing (UK) to produce a new journal. Comparative Legal
History (CLH), an international and comparative review of law
and history, will be the official journal of the ESCLH.
The journal will be published, both online and in print, twice a year, appearing in the spring and
the autumn. The first
issue will appear in Spring 2013:
Articles will exploreboth 'internal' legal history (doctrinal and disciplinary developments in the
law) and 'external' legal history (legal ideas and institutions in wider
contexts). Rooted in the complexity of the various Western legal traditions
worldwide, the journal will also investigate other laws and customs from around
the globe. Comparisons may be either temporal or geographical and both legal
and other law-like normative traditions will be considered. Scholarship on
comparative and trans-national historiography, including trans-disciplinary
approaches, is particularly welcome.
The Editors welcome
scholarly submissions in the English language:
To submit an article
please contact Articles Editor Heikki
Pihlajamäki (heikki.pihlajamaki@helsinki.fi).
The optimal length for articles is between 7500 to 15000 words, including
footnotes. All articles are submitted to double blind peer review.
To propose a review,
please contact Reviews Editor Agustin Parise (agustin.parise@maastrichtuniversity.nl).
Book reviews will generally range from 1500 to 2500 words. Review articles will
also be considered.
The Hart website also has information on the Editors (both the Editorial Staff and International Editorial Board), an Email alert service of the 'Table of Contents', and subscription information.
Note that a special arrangement between
the ESCLH and Hart has been made to ensure that, beginning next year, ESCLH
membership fees will include a subscription to CLH.
Potential
contributors should pay special attention to the ‘Notes for Contributors’ on
the website. In particular, contributors whose first language is not English
are strongly advised to have their papers edited by native Anglophone
scholars in advance of their
submission to ensure a clear presentation of their ideas and an accurate
appraisal of their work.
Finally, note that CLH isn't likely to include short articles in its first few issues.
Spread the word.
