The
Original Law Review Publications
The only law review without references!
The Original Law Review is a general peer-refereed journal that
publishes articles with original ideas on legal issues in all branches
of the law across all jurisdictions. The journal provides a forum
for the critical examination of law as it operates in society and
for informed ideas concerning the manner in which the law should
be shaped to promote human flourishing. The journal does not publish
papers with footnotes or endnotes. The overuse of citations in
recent decades in most law journals has stifled original and creative
commentary on legal issues.
Most articles have a small number (one or two) key points to make.
This journal encourages authors to express these points without
feeling compelled to extensively reference others who may have
made similar comments. We assume a high level of competence and
knowledge by our readers. There is no need to summarise existing
legal rules or principles.
A wide ranging journal published three times annually, The Original
Law Review will publish articles dealing with all legal issues
of pragmatic relevance to people in all parts of the world. Examples
of topics that will be published include:
- The objective and purpose of law;
- National sovereignty
as a barrier to universal law;
- Globalization and the law;
- Legal History;
- Law and philosophy;
- Commerce and Law;
- Democracy and legal expedience;
- Biotechnology and the Law;
- Law and capitalism;
- Comparative law - which legal system
is best; and
- Law and entrenched poverty.
