WHAT Legal History, Call for papers

Legal History is an Australian scholarly journal devoted to the history of the law and legal institutions in Australia, the region, and more broadly of the common law world.
The journal promotes legal history as being vital to understanding the context and meaning of law today and to informing future directions.
We encourage submissions from all jurisdictions and welcome contributions of an interdisciplinary, transnational or comparative character. Legal History is published by Australian Scholarly Publishing.
Legal History is being relaunched with a new series in 2016 with its new academic host, Swinburne Law School.
Dr Amanda Scardamaglia and Dr Jessica Lake have been announced as joint editors, with two issues planned for 2016.
We are calling for papers for the new series on any subject relating to legal history in Australia, the Asia-Pacific region or other common law countries.
Although the focus is generally on Australia, the new series will also extend its interests from South Asia to North America.
