The Cardozo Law Bulletin is a peer-reviewed, English and Italian language journal concerned to provide an international forum for academic research exploring the threesholds of legal theory, judicial practice and public policy, where the use of a 'comparative law and literature' approach becomes crucial to the understanding of Law as a complex order. The Cardozo Law Bulletin, established in 1995 as one of the world first Law Journals on the Web, invites the submission of essays, topical article, comments, critical reviews, which will be evaluated by an independent committee of referees on the basis of their quality of scholarship, originality, and contribution to reshaping legal views and perspectives.
The Columbia Science and Technology Law Review (STLR) engages thought-provoking issues at the intersection of cutting-edge technology, policy, and the law.STLR is one of the preeminent science and technology law journals in the country. While we are a traditional
journal (past authors include Professor Richard A. Merrill and Professor Richard Epstein) our innovative and evolving use of the Web and new media sets us apart. As with every other journal, STLR emphasizes skills – such as bluebooking, legal research, and writing – which are critical for law-related employment. Our strengths, however, go beyond these traditional bounds.
The origins to the journal lie in the Law Technology Journal which was published at Warwick University and supported by the CTI Law Technology Centre (now the UK Centre for Legal Education) and BILETA (British and Irish Legal Education Technology Association – as it was then known). The editor was Abdul Paliwala and dissemination of the journal was by print and also via ‘gopher’ technology (users "go for" information), a predecessor to the www which developed in the early 1990s. After four years, LTC ceased publication in 1996 and was retitled and relaunched as The Journal of Information Law and Technology which was – at first – jointly published by Warwick University and Strathclyde University. Later JILT was published entirely at Warwick University under the editorship of Abdul Paliwala. The journal continued to be actively supported by BILETA. JILT was one of the first journals to be published as an open access law journal using web technology. For an insight into the thinking of the editorial team, see Paliwala’s From academic tombstones to living bazaars: The changing shape of Law Reviews JILT 1996 (1).
JILT was innovative and highly regarded by the research community, winning awards for the quality of the publication covering the international aspects of the discipline. It continued to publish in the fields of technology and law until 2009.
During its existence, JILT has undergone several changes of style in a bid to keep the Journal looking fresh but also to aid the user in effectively navigating around the publication. The latest style was designed to be crisp and easy on the eye, but also easy to use. Some people will find the style of JILT somewhat static, compared to other, perhaps 'jazzier', online publications, but we believe that as most of our content is academic articles which may be read for long periods online, or perhaps printed off for later reading, our readers would not want too many graphical distractions..During its existence, JILT has undergone several changes of style in a bid to keep the Journal looking fresh but also to aid the user in effectively navigating around the publication.
