Oñati Socio-Legal Series 11(2) - “Too much litigation?”: Facts, reasons, consequences, and solutions

Dear readers,

 

We are very happy to announce the publication of a new issue of our international indexed journal Oñati Socio-Legal Series, which makes issue no. 2 of this year's volume (11): “Too much litigation?”: Facts, reasons, consequences, and solutions. The issue makes the third and final installment in a series dedicated to the legal profession, each of which originated from a workshop at the IISL: “Too Few Judges?” Regulating the Number of Judges in Society (OSLS 7(4) and How many lawyers are too many lawyers: perspectives, context and place (OSLS 3(3).

This issue has been edited by Eyal Katvan (Center of Law & Business, Ramat-Gan), Ulrike Schultz (FernUniversität, Hagen), Guy Seidman (Harry Radzyner School of Law, The Interdisciplinary Center (IDC) Herzliya), Avrom Sherr (Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, London) and Boaz Shnoor (Center of Law & Business, Ramat-Gan).

As a novelty, OSLS articles are now available both in PDF (as traditionally) and, as a trial, in JATS-XML, which is a recommended format for academic journals, for abstracting and indexing.

As always, following our Diamond Open Access policy, we heartily encourage you to spread the word (and the DOI link) if you have enjoyed these articles!

Sincerely,

 

 

Leire
