INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF LAW IN THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT-CALL FOR PAPERS

24/06/08

 
International Journal of Law in the Built Environment provides a vehicle for the publication of high quality legal scholarship with relevance to all aspects of the design, management and use of the built environment.
It publishes up-to-date and original legal research contributions for the benefit of scholars, policy makers and practitioners in these areas, including those operating in the fields of legal practice, architecture, planning, housing, surveying, construction management, real estate and property management.

The journal will publish scholarly legal articles dealing with the application of law in these fields, or with the related professional and policy aspects. Articles may address legal educational issues, doctrinal, theoretical or other forms of legal scholarship, or deal with empirical and socio-legal investigations within a built environment context. In keeping with the journal's international scope articles drawing comparisons between two or more jurisdictions and those offering theoretical cross-jurisdictional legal perspectives are particularly welcome.

International Coverage Includes:

- The law relating to construction contracts and procurement
- The law of real property, the land-related torts & neighbour disputes
- Landlord and tenant law, including dilapidations, rent review and housing law
- Planning, building control, conservation & environmental law

- Comparative legal studies in the built environment
- Private international law in the context of the built environment
- Jurisprudential and theoretical perspectives on law in the built environment
- The role of legal research and scholarship in the built environment
- Law teaching & curriculum development in built environment professional education

Each paper is reviewed by the editor and, if judged suitable for this publication, is then sent to two referees for double blind peer review.
Based on their recommendations, the editor then decides whether the paper should be accepted as it is, revised or rejected.
