  • Long articles (indicative length 8,000 – 12,000 words)*

  • Notes on legislation (any length)

The journal welcomes submissions on all areas of European law, including EU law 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.

Please send submissions for consideration by the editorial board to ijel.submissions@gmail.com by 5pm on Friday 26th March 2021 in Word format, size 12 font, single-spaced.
