The German Law Journal (GLJ) is an American legal journal that deals with current developments in German, European and international and transnational law. All articles are published in English and are freely available on the Internet ( Open Access ).

history

The German Law Journal was founded in 1999 by the current law professors Russell A. Miller and Peer C. Zumbansen , who met as research associates at the Federal Constitutional Court .

They originally sent out a newsletter every two weeks with comments in English on judgments on German constitutional law.

From this offer, the German Law Journal emerged in 2000, which was to appear exclusively online.

In the course of time it distinguished itself primarily as a forum for international public and private law as well as for European law and transnational law.

The Federal Ministry of Justice organized a ceremony to mark its tenth anniversary , to which the October 2009 issue is dedicated. In addition, a commemorative publication with a selection from the contributions published up to that point was published as a book by Oxford University Press .

Peer C. Zumbansen ended his work as editor of the magazine in 2013; it has since been continued by Russel A. Miller , who is supported by a team. At the end of 2018, the magazine is supported by the German Law Journal eV, a registered association based at the Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main . It is edited by Matthias Goldmann, Russell A. Miller , Jule Mulder, Emanuel V. Towfigh and Floris de Witte.

Initially, the issues of the GLJ appeared monthly, and since 2014 they have been published every two months; In addition, there are special issues on certain topics, for example a “Brexit Supplement” was published in 2016 in which the effects of the referendum on the UK's exit from the EU were discussed.

The German Law Journal was u. a. Funded by the Robert Bosch Foundation . As usual with American law reviews , law students are involved in the editing of the contributions. However, the articles are selected in a peer review process by experienced scientists.

The magazine has been published by Cambridge University Press since 2019 .
