Instruction to authors

The magazine Jurisprudence has appeared since 1991 in the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic. The specific aim of Jurisprudence is providing relevant legal information, analyses and discussions on Czech, Slovak and European case law.

Jurisprudence monitors and writes upon issues which are relevant for the development of the legal system, legal certainty, legal unity and rule of law. Raising the awareness of the role and function of case law is of the highest importance in former communist countries.

Also the membership of the European Union puts European law and its implementation in the centre of the attention. European law and its implementation are covered intensively.

Foreign authors are kindly requested to contribute to the magazine. Articles will be translated and published in the Czech or Slovak language, but will also appear in the original language on the web-site www.jurisprudence.cz. Contributors to Jurisprudence include judges, lawyers, scholars from various European countries, the USA and Canada.

From 2006 The web-site will also be available in the English language. Articles will be published in the original language on the web-site.

Each edition contains 4 to 6 leading articles on theoretical aspects of case law or on European Union issues. The main focus is on the implementation, use and function of case law in the broadest sense. That means that theoretical and more practical contributions are welcomed.
