Independent and constructive peer review
All submissions undergo initial editorial screening for relevance, originality, legal-source accuracy, methodology, analytical quality, and compliance with journal requirements. Manuscripts proceeding to external review are normally evaluated by at least two independent experts under a double-blind peer-review model, in which author and reviewer identities are concealed from each other. Final editorial decisions rest with the Editor-in-Chief or an authorized Editor and are based on scholarly merit and ethical compliance.
Academic integrity and editorial independence
The journal emphasizes accurate and verifiable references to legislation, judicial decisions, legal doctrine, and other research materials. It expects authors, editors, and reviewers to respect confidentiality, disclose conflicts of interest, and uphold responsible scholarly conduct. Fabricated legal authorities, plagiarism, research falsification, and improper influence over editorial decisions are inconsistent with the journal's publication standards.
