DE IUSTITIA ET IURE

The Journal “De Iustitia et Iure. Legal Journal of Foundations and Discussions”, which can be placed in area 12 of the legal sciences, is named after the first Title of Book 1 of Justinian’s Digest. The title makes it clear that the context of inspiration is the Roman legal system. Also faithful to this context is the subtitle of the journal, “Legal Journal of Foundations and Discussions”, where the English language helps to show its international dimension. The reference to law, its foundations and (scientific) discussions highlight the adherence to traditional schemes in constant innovation, according to the principles that animate the Civil (Roman) Law system: leges, iura and ius controversum.
In fact, the aims of the Review are inspired by the aforementioned principles, aiming to involve jurists, practitioners in various capacities in the vast world of law as well as scholars from various disciplines, in comparisons on topics of legal relevance. The aim is to invite various professionals to discussions that will be ‘provoked’ from time to time on specific topics, in order to offer readers a multiplicity of viewpoints. The topics will be inspired by the constituent elements of our legal system; in fact, it will be a matter of identifying rules or judicial pronouncements (not only Italian) on which the authors will be called upon to discuss.
The Journal will be organised annually in two ‘fascicles’ with a six-monthly cadence. Each issue will be composed of contributions of limited length, in order to give the discussion a fast pace, similar to a debate organised around a ‘round table’. In each issue, the contributions will be collected within thematic sections devoted to specific topics, identified by the scientific direction with the help of the scientific committee, according to the above-mentioned intentions and modalities.
Each contribution will be submitted for evaluation by two experts, especially from universities and research institutions, according to the scheme of mutual lack of knowledge between evaluators and evaluated. Contributions may be written in one of the Latin languages (among Italian, Spanish, French, Portuguese) or in English and must be provided with an abstract in English and also in the language used in the article as well as the indication of at least six key words.
The journal, with these characteristics, aims to be part of the debates that give life to legal science, offering a variety of food for thought and points of view, useful – it is hoped – at least in the search for solutions to the problems of our daily lives.

Each submission is first assessed by the journal’s editors who check its adherence to the editorial line. If the submission passes this first reading, it will be assigned to an editor belonging to the Editorial Board who will send it to two reviewers, except in the case of experts invited to contribute for their recognized expertise. The reviewers may be members of the Scientific Committee, the Board of Referees, or selected on a case-by-case basis by the Editorial Board. The full list of referees is kept at the Editorial Office and published periodically on the Journal’s website. The editor will then inform the author of the indications provided by the referees. If the opinions of the two referees disagree, a third referee will be consulted. The editors will assess whether the adjustments are satisfactory. If not, the Editorial Board will request further adjustments. Before being finally accepted, the submission must be fully adapted to the editorial standards of the Journal.
