Columbia Journal of European Law (CJEL) is published under the auspices of the European Legal Studies Center at the Columbia University School of Law, in cooperation with the Institute for European Law of the Katholieke Universiteit in Leuven, Belgium. It is intended primarily to respond to the growth of interest in European law among Americans. While giving priority to the analysis of legal documents at the European Community and European Union level, CJEL actively encourages contributions exploring any dimension of European law, including those at the national or regional levels, as well as those relevant to broader questions on the development of law and legal institutions in Europe as a whole. CJEL further seek to present articles - whether authored by Americans, Europeans or scholars from other parts of the world - that bring special comparative, historical and political perspectives to bear on the issues under discussion. The range of subject areas covered by CJEL is extremely diverse, ranging from human rights to corporate law.
The CJEL staff is open to all second and third-year J.D. candidates as well as LL.M. candidates, although preference is given to students with demonstrated interest, prior training, or experience in European affairs. Staff members are strongly encouraged to take the basic European Union Law course during their second year.
CJEL has its own site on the World Wide Web located at the link below.
