TheColumbia Journal of European Law was established in 1994 and is one of the fewlegal publications in the United States devoted exclusively toEuropean law. It currently ranks among the top five foreign and civil law journals in the US and is the most cited journal of European legal scholarship worldwide.[1]The journal is published under the auspices of the European Legal Studies Center[2] atColumbia Law School. Columbia students are entirely responsible for CJEL’s publication. Close collaboration is kept with theCatholic University of Leuven, Belgium, which keeps the journal abreast of recent developments in the case law of theEuropean Court of Justice. CJEL publishes three issues per year—Winter, Spring, and Summer—and contains articles exploring every dimension of European law in its broadest sense. This includes the law of theEuropean Union and law at the national or regional levels, as well as jurisprudential questions relevant to the development of law and legal institutions in Europe. Its articles cover a range of issues and are authored by leading academics and practitioners. Many articles are comparative in nature and directly relevant to the United States.
Every CJEL article is cataloged and archived on its website, although only the introduction or abstract is available online. Full articles are available in the print version, as well as onWestlaw,LexisNexis, andHeinOnline.
In April 2009, CJEL launched an online edition[3] to supplement the print journal. This online supplement is available on the journal’s website in its entirety. Because of the space and time limitations inherent in print publications, the online supplement was intended to allow a more rapid exploration of important case law and legislative developments, in order to reflect the ever-increasing pace of the dissemination of legal information in the modern era. Although the majority of the articles published online are produced by post-graduate legal students atColumbia Law School, the journal actively seeks submissions from outside of the school.
In 2015, CJEL introduced its online blog,Preliminary Reference.[4]
In Spring 2009 CJEL absorbed theColumbia Journal of East European Law, and starting with its Fall 2009 issue will publish an article onEast European law in each issue. The Editorial Boards of each journal believed that such a merger would best reflect the rapid eastward expansion of theEuropean Union, which has added 12 Central and East European nations in the past five years, as well as the growth of other transnational organizations, such as theCouncil of Europe.
