IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
We wish to inform you of important changes in the Israel
Law Review and to invite you to submit a written
contribution to the journal, which is now published by the
Minerva Center for Human Rights at the Hebrew University of
Jerusalem.
ABOUT IS.L.R:
The Israel Law Review is the oldest and most prestigious
law journal appearing in English in Israel, published for
more than 40 years under the academic auspices of the
Faculty of Law at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The
Faculty of Law recently decided to shift the focus of the
journal to public law and human rights in times of tension,
conflict and transformation, and to place it under the
academic and organizational leadership of the Minerva
Center for Human Rights. This new focus acknowledges a
growing interest in the ability of public law and human
rights norms and institutions to meet the challenges faced
by societies under pressure, and is indicative of the
increased relevance of comparative and international
scholarship to existing debates in and on such societies.
The Israel Law Review will continue to publish three issues
per year. These issues will continue to be distributed in
paper and electronic form (in Lexis and HeinOnline). The
issues will contain, as before, long articles, shorter
notes and book reviews submitted to the journal by a
variety of authors from around the world. All submissions
are subject to a "double-blind review" process by two or
more referees, and undergo technical and style editing by
the student editors - supervised and assisted by the
journal's Academic Editor (Dr. Yael Ronen), Executive
Editor (Adv. Danny Evron) and Production Editor (Adv.
Michele Manspeizer). The general policy of the Law Review,
as well as overall responsibility for its contents and
format, will lie with the two Editors-in-Chief: Prof. Yuval
Shany (Hebrew University of Jerusalem) and Prof. Sir Nigel
Rodley (University of Essex).
ADVISORY BOARD:
In its new format, the Israel Law Review will be assisted
by an International Advisory Board composed of prominent
public law and human rights experts:
- Prof. Aharon Barak (former President of the Israeli
Supreme Court)
- Prof. Daphne Barak-Erez (Tel-Aviv University)
- Prof. Antonio Cassese (Florence University)
- Prof. Malcolm Feeley (University of California,
Berkeley)
