About this Journal
Global Jurist offers a forum for scholarly cyber-debate on issues of comparative law, law and economics, international law, law and development, and legal anthropology. Mindful of globalization and respectful of cultural differences, linguistic and cultural barriers are overcome and legal issues are finally discussed outside of the narrow limits imposed by positivism, parochialism, ethnocentrism, imperialism and chauvinism in the law. Articles are published in three quality-rated tiers - Frontiers, Advances, and Topics - that are distinguished by breadth of appeal and overall quality. The journal is edited by an impressive list, including Ugo Mattei, Alfred and Hanna Fromm Chair in International and Comparative Law at Hastings College of the Law. Authors include notable professors from The London School of Economics, Oxford University, and The University of California, Berkeley.

What scholars are saying about Global Jurist
Global Jurist is an invaluable resource in the area of comparative law. The articles cover the legal systems of developing nations in a way that no other publication does.
Dolores A. Donovan, Professor of Law and Director of International Program Development, University of San Francisco School of Law
I never have had such a short lag time between submission of manuscript to actual publication!
Vivian Curran, Associate Professor of Law, University of Pittsburgh
This is another excellent online publication from bepress. As law and ancillary subjects become more important in general, occupy increasingly large parts of our curriculum, and attract students, we should be expanding the quantity of materials available. The bepress imprint almost guarantees high quality.
Gordon Schochet, Professor of Political Science, Rutgers University
This is an extraordinary resource for comparative studies and global law.
Mario Cajas, Professor of Constitutional Law, Universidad Icesi, Columbia
