The first issue of Comparative Legal History (CLH), a journal I edit with a very fine staff and international board, has now been published. Closely connected to my work in Juris Diversitas and beyond, the journal:
is a peer-reviewed international and comparative review of law and history. Its articles explore both internal legal history (doctrinal and disciplinary developments in the law) and external legal history (legal ideas and institutions in wider contexts). Firmly rooted in the complexity of the various Western legal traditions worldwide, it also provides a forum for the investigation of other laws and law-like normative traditions around the globe. Scholarship on comparative and trans-national historiography, including trans-disciplinary approaches, is particularly welcome.
CLH is also the official publication of the European Society for Comparative Legal History (ESCLH) and is published by the forward-thinking, helpful folks at Hart Publishing. Members of the ESCLH receive a free subscription to CLH.
The preface introducing the journal is available here; a sample article is available here.
