The Canadian Business Law Journal (CBLJ) was established in 1974 to provide Canadian lawyers with a written forum for discussion of current developments in all branches of Canadian business law. Since then, it has also expanded into the international arena.
Critical Analysis of Law (CAL): An International & Interdisciplinary Law Review, reflects a broadly contextual approach to legal scholarship animated by the idea of bilateral interdisciplinary engagement set out in the CAL minifesto.
Middle East Law and Governance (MELG) is a peer-reviewed social science journal that offers contributors an opportunity to reflect upon and engage issues pertaining to governance and social, economic, and ideological transformations in the modern Middle East and North Africa region. We broadly conceive of governance as the processes and decision-making leading to the creation, reinforcement or reproduction of social norms and/or institutions.
