The Irish Journal of European Law has been published since 1992 and is a leading international journal on European law, edited by scholars and practitioners.

Previous volumes are hosted on Westlaw, HeinOnline and on the Irish Society for European Law’s website. The journal – whose articles are blind peer reviewed – is now issuing a call for original papers for its 2025 volume. Papers are welcomed in the following categories:

• Long articles (indicative length 8,000 – 12,000 words, inclusive of footnotes)
• Shorter articles and analysis (indicative length up to 6,000 words)
• Professional practice pieces, addressing areas of European law and/or practice that would be of particular interest to practitioners (any length)
• Notes on case law (indicative length 2,000-3,000 words, longer pieces will be considered in appropriate cases)
• Notes on legislation (any length)
• Book reviews (indicative length 1,000-2,000 words)

The journal welcomes submissions on all areas of European law, including EU law, the law of the Council of Europe, and European law in the wider sense.

The journal has an international reputation and attracts contributions from scholars, practitioners, judges and public servants (writing in a personal capacity) from across Europe and beyond. Submissions are welcomed from established scholars, early career researchers, students, and practitioners.
