Mission and scope
The mission of the JILC is to connect law, language and communication over all scientific, geographical, political and social divisions.
The term “legal communication” defines various types of research problems: it refers to the effectiveness of law, obtaining information about law, translation of legal acts, harmonization and globalization of law, communication between lawyers-practitioners undertaken in various contexts, their contacts with lay people, the impact of new information technologies and media on the performance of legal professions, as well as innovative pedagogy. Being an interdisciplinary area, legal communication implies the need for joint efforts of representatives of legal, social and human sciences, especially in an international, European, comparative and empirical context.
JILC is an international scientific peer-reviewed publication that presents the methodological and empirical research of scientists from different countries and reflects a variety of scientific schools and topics concerning an interdisciplinary approach to legal communication.
Subject areas
JILC is an academic journal which aims at the dissemination of studies from a range of areas contributing to legal communication, including law, linguistics, foreign languages and literature, education, sociology, psychology, political studies, business management, administrative services and economics. In addition, it intends to include case studies, as well as new concepts and practices reflecting research on legal communication. JILC seeks to blend both theory and practice and thus contribute to the advancement of the field. We expect submitted articles to be theoretically sound, provide significant research findings and implications for existing approaches.
JILC Writing Mentorship
JILC encourages young Authors, i.e. scientists, PhD candidates, students to participate in the incredibly developing adventure that is writing and publishing. JILC supports the efforts to express opinions, to share views, to describe and to analyse scientific findings. JILC also supports the engagement and ambitions of young Authors, gives them the opportunity to capitalize their skills or experiences and makes the investment into the future generations of academic writers. There is also a floor here to create a positive, strong student – academic teacher relationship that lasts not only during the period of studying and that makes the academic society bonding in many different ways. The JILC Writing Mentorship program provides an opportunity to connect an experienced Author with someone new to writing. JILC is very appreciative of the writing mentors who contribute their time to this important program in which the mentees benefit from collegial support and through gaining appreciation for the publication process.
