About the journal
Aims and Scope
The European Law Journal represents an authoritative new approach to the study of European Law, developed specifically to express and develop the study and understanding of European law in its social, cultural, political and economic context. It has a highly reputed board of editors. The journal fills a major gap in the current literature on all issues of European law, and is essential reading for anyone studying or practising EU law and its diverse impact on the environment, national legal systems, local government, economic organizations, and European citizens.
As well as focusing on the European Union, the journal also examines the national legal systems of countries in Western, Central and Eastern Europe and relations between Europe and other parts of the world, particularly the United States, Japan, China, and developing countries.
The journal is published in English but is dedicated to publishing native language articles and has a dedicated translation fund available for this purpose. It is a refereed journal.
The future of the European Union is now on the agenda. European Union law is in a phase of transformation, affecting national legal systems, various levels of government, organisations, interest groups and men and women in a fundamental way. Substantial changes are bound to follow in teaching, research and practice. European Law Journal is a forum for the debate on these issues.

Instructions to Authors
Author Guidelines
The Editors will be happy to discuss drafts and proposed contributors. Articles need not necessarily be limited to specific fields. In particular, contributions are encouraged which concern new perspectives on European institutions, analyses of legal developments, case studies on the interaction between law, politics, economics and culture, and review articles discussing major contributions on social, economic and political integration.
Preparation and submission of manuscripts
Submissions to the European Law Journal are now made on-line using Manuscript Central. To submit to the journal go to http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/elj
If this is the first time you have used the system you will be asked to register by clicking on 'create an account'. Full instructions on making your submission are provided. You should receive an acknowledgement within a few minutes. Thereafter, the system will keep you informed of the process of your submission through refereeing, any revisions that are required, and a final decision.
Letters of no more than 500 words in response to articles published in the European Law Journal, or on topical developments regarding issues with which the journal is concerned, will be considered for publication in the correspondence section.
All contributions should be submitted in house style.
General
Contributions should be submitted with an abstract of 100-150 words in length. The length of articles should usually not exceed 10,000 words including abstract and footnotes. Articles should be submitted in English. In exceptional instances, it may be possible to arrange for translation (see below).
Corrections
Whenever possible, alterations should be made to the manuscript and not on the proofs. Every correction to proofs results in resetting of the text, hence delay and increased cost. Revisions to proofs should be limited to essential new material which was not available at the time the contribution was initially submitted.
Manuscripts
English rather than American spelling should be used, eg recognise, not recognize; labour, not labor; analyse not analyze.
All full points and commas should be placed inside quotation marks. Semi-colons and colons go outside quotation marks. Footnote numbers should be placed outside quotation marks except when they are part of the exact quoted.
The first letter of the words 'Member States', as in Member States of the European Community, should be capitalised, following the practice of the Official Journal of the European Communities.
Quotations
Quotations should be indicated by single quotation marks. A quotation within a quotation should be indicated by double quotation marks. A quotation that is more than about five lines long should be indicated as a separate paragraph, with a line space above and below and no opening or closing quotation marks. All quotations should remain exactly as in the original.
Latin phrases
Latin phrases and other non-English expressions should always be in italics unless they are so common that they have become wholly absorbed into everyday language: eg etc bona fide, but amicus curiae, pouvoir constituant.
Abbreviations
These may be used provided that the name is set out in full, followed by the abbreviation in brackets, at the first usage, eg European Court of Justice (ECJ). The abbreviation can then be used throughout. Latin abbreviations as follows:
ibid
et seq
op cit
supra
eg
ie
cf
(No full points or comma)
The following, additional, abbreviations should be used:
Court of Justice of the European Communities: Court of Justice
Court of First Instance in full, never CFI
European Court of Human Rights: Court of Human Rights
International Court of Justice: International Court
Footnotes
All reference should be put in footnotes. A separate bibliography should not be included. References should be numbered sequentially throughout the text and should appear at the bottom of the page. Authors are asked to keep footnotes as short as possible and to make cross-references within the text as sparingly as possible. The name of the author(s) and an abbreviated form of the title should be used for cross-references.
Footnote numbers in text should follow punctuation marks - comma, full point etc. The first letter of footnote will be capital except:
where it is part of Latin abbreviations: ibid. eg ie cf
where it is a cross reference to another footnote, eg 'n 4 supra'.
Page references
These are set out in full eg 123-124 (not 123-4)
Page numbers should not be preceded by 'p' or 'pp'
Headings
A logical system of headings and subheadings, of descending levels of importance, should be used throughout. If headings and subheadings are numbered, the numbering should be consistent. The preferred style is as follows:
I Introduction
II Style Sheet
A Quotations
B Headings
III Citation of Published Works
A Books
B Edited Books
C Articles
IV Conclusion
Authors are asked to avoid the use of further subheadings if at all possible. Headings and subheadings are designed to guide the reader through the paper, so all headings and subheadings which do not add substantially to clarity should be omitted.
Books
Books should be cited as in the following examples, with the titles italicised:
M. Jones, European Law in Context (Blackwell, 1995)
M. Jones and J. Smith, European Law in Context Revisited (Blackwell, 1995)

Articles
Article titles, like the titles of contributions to edited books, should be in single quotation marks and not italicised. The titles of books and journals should be italicised and spelled out in full. (nb: do not use common abbreviations)
For example:
M. Jones, 'Subsidiarity and Social Regulation in Europe', (1995) 1 Journal of Social Regulation Studies 63
A reference to a specific page should be as follows:
(1995) 1 Journal of Social Regulation Studies 63, 67
Cases
References to Court of Justice or Court of First Instance cases should give the European Court Reports (ECR) citation, except if the case has not yet been published in the ECR, in which case the reference should give the Common Market Law Reports citation if possible. Cases should not be cited to both the ECR and the CMLR.
Cases should be cited in the following way:
(a) for ECR citations:
Case 132/82, Commission v Belgium [1983] ECR 1649
