Aim and Scope
The Electronic Journal of Comparative Law publishes articles relating to comparative private and public law,
comparative legal aspects of information technology and the methodology of comparative law. As to the
methodological aspects of comparative law, articles relating to any area (e.g. private law, public law,
European law, international law) may be submitted. Articles discussing more substantive comparative
private and public law topics will have to discuss and compare at least two legal systems.
Editorial Policy
The editors welcome the submission of original articles, review articles, book reviews, correspondence,
comments and discussion within the aim and scope of the journal, neither published nor submitted for
publication elsewhere. Contributions may also be solicited by the editors. Please refer to the
guidelines for authors before submitting an article.
The author of an article published in the Electronic Journal of Comparative Law is free to offer
the article for publication elsewhere, provided proper reference is made to its publication in the
Electronic Journal of Comparative Law.
Both solicited and unsolicited contributions may be subjected to peer review, a decision which
lies with the Editor-in-Chief. If an article is subject to peer review, this will be a double-blind process
where authors and referees are unaware of each others' names. The final decision to publish an article is
made by the Editorial Board.

Background
The Electronic Journal of Comparative Law was developed in 1997 with a grant from
IWI (now 'SURF Platform ICT en Onderzoek'), the Dutch platform for innovation of the supply of scientific information. The original project proposal was submitted by the
Tilburg University Schoordijk Institute and the Utrecht University Molengraaff Institute. The journal was developed by a team recruited from libraries and computer centres of Tilburg University and Utrecht University.
As of 1 January 2002, the EJCL is sponsored by the law faculties of Maastricht, Tilburg and Utrecht.
