Dear readers, The IISL-IISJ's year was very productive, as it ended with five issues of the journal Oñati Socio-legal Series: one regular issue (4) and four extra issues (5, 6, 7 and 8). You can browse and read them as well as download the articles, as usual. They are all available in open access through the Social Science Research Network. You will find below the table of contents for numbers 4 (Too Few Judges? Regulating the Number of Judges in Society, edited by Eyal Katvan, Ulrike Schulz, Avrom Sherr and Boaz Shnoor [+]), 5 (El Reto de la Profundización Democrática en Europa: Avances Institucionales en Democracia Directa, edited by Víctor Cuesta López and Miguel Presno Linera [+]), 6 (our yearly miscellaneous issue, consisting of articles on several topics as well as book reviews [+]), 7 (Working the Boundaries of Law, edited by Morag McDermont and John Clarke [+]) and 8 (Legal Education in Europe. Challenges and Prospects, edited by Antal Szerletics and Lidia Rodak [+]), with the link to access the articles in this issue. As always, you are more than welcome to circulate this information to everybody who you think may be interested in these topics. These are the first issues that I edit since I took over from Cristina as Publications officer. To all who have worked with me, thank you for your warm welcome and for your kindness and patience as I have been learning my new job. Sincerely,
Leire |
