Welcome

Welcome to the first issue of the Journal of Law.

This journal is a broad based legal journal, and seeks to publish articles that have an international audience in mind; this first issue has been distributed to law companies and universities in 25 countries around the globe.

For this first issue, contributions were by invitation only. In the future, it is planned to have at least 50% of our articles by invitation only.

By our third issue, a peer-referral system shall be in place and in the meantime, any potential referees should feel free to contact the journal.

For the first issue, it was an honour to have such eminent scholars contribute:

• Dr Justice Adarsh S. Anand (Chairman, National Human Rights Commission of India)
• Justice Kirby AC CMG (High Court of Australia)
• Professor Jeffrey Reiman (William Fraser McDowell Professor of Philosophy, American University)
• Professor Richard A. Epstein (James Parker Hall Distinguished Service Professor of Law, University of Chicago)
• Professor Robert A. Burt (Professor of Law, Yale University)
• Professor James W. Harris (Oxford University)
• Professor David Ibbetson (Regius Professor of Civil Law, University of Cambridge)
• Professor The Hon. George Hampel QC (Chairman of the Australian Advocacy Institute, President of the International Institute of Forensic Studies)

Vol 2. will be coming to print in October 2006.

Yours sincerely,

Mark Christopher Trayling
