China Law Journals In English
Chinese Law Prof Blog recently did a post on Chinese law journals in English. His list consists of the following journals currently in publication:
Peking University Journal of Legal Studies. No online edition, but you can subscribe here.
Tsinghua China Law Review. This is brand new, but it shows tremendous promise. I was provided with its first issue and I was quite impressed. It reads like a legitimate U.S. law school law journal in pretty much every respect. The Tsinghua journal's Board of Editors is comprised of "students at the Tsinghua University School of Law, both Chinese law students and foreign students in the LLM Program in Chinese Law." I know its Editor-in-Chief, Carlton Willey, and I know how committed he is on making this Journal a must read for those doing legal business in China. I suggest you check it out.
Comments
Thanks for the kudos, Dan! I'm glad you received your copy. We're distributing now in China, Europe, and Australia, as well. I've graduated and so I'm on my way out as editor-in-chief, but we have a great class of over 20 new student editors joining for the upcoming year.
I think the future is bright for Chinese law journals aimed at an international audience. The demand for this type of scholarship is there. Tsinghua is ahead of the curve because of support from some ambitious and forward-thinking administrators, but I think other Chinese law schools will begin to support similar projects.
For anyone that would like to receive the first issue or to submit an article for consideration, please follow the link in Dan's post to contact the editors.
