THE ELSA NL LAW REVIEW
ABOUT
The ELSA NL Law Review is a student-run, peer-reviewed journal of legal scholarship published by ELSA the Netherlands. The first issue of the Review will be published during the 2020-2021 academic year.
ELSA NL Law Review aims to serve as an academic forum that enables students and legal professionals from across the Netherlands to analyse and discuss contemporary legal issues. While contributions are welcome from all members of the legal community, the Review, in particular, provides law students and young lawyers with the coveted opportunity to develop their editing and writing skills.
ELSA NL Law Review can be used as a platform for further cooperation between the members of ELSA the Netherlands’ diverse network. As such, it is appropriate that the first issue of the Review will align with the International Focus Programme (IFP). The IFP aims at raising awareness on a specific theme across the whole ELSA Network and provides an opportunity for ELSA-wide cooperation on that specific legal topic. The current IFP topic is Law and Technology.
