European Review of Private Law discusses the great practical as well as academic importance of national private laws in an integrating Europe, in the face of the current overwhelming emphasis placed on European Union Law.
Cross-border research will become increasingly important as cross-border legal work develops. Hence the need for a law review which focuses on legal developments within a broad European perspective, and which provides a platform for debate on the desirability of a unified private law in Europe, as a complement to economic, monetary and political union.
The European Review of Private Law has an appeal which crosses the academic/practitioner divide. By providing accessible and comparative surveys of legal developments in a number of countries, with summaries of articles and case notes in French, German and English, the Review provides a valuable source of information for lawyers wishing to look for new ideas with which to encourage their courts to innovate in private law.
The impact of European Union Law has made national courts more receptive to importing new conceptual devices and legal techniques directly from foreign case law, without always waiting for the legislature to act.
The European Review of Private Law aims to provide a forum which facilitates the development of European Private Law. It publishes work of interest to academics and practitioners across European boundaries.
Comparative work in any field of private law is welcomed, but a particular emphasis is placed upon the area of patrimonial law. The journal deals especially with comparative case law. Work focusing on one jurisdiction alone is accepted, provided it has a strong cross-border interest.
