Rechtskultur è stata riconosciuta dall'ANVUR (Agenzia Nazionale di Valutazione del Sistema Universitario e della Ricerca) in "fascia A" per l'area 12 (Delibera del Consiglio Direttivo n. 305 del 03-12-2025).

We are pleased to announce a call for papers for an upcoming volume that seeks to investigate the dynamic shifts in methodological approaches to law. This volume aims to critically analyze how contemporary legal scholarship is evolving, highlighting the interplay between traditional legal doctrines and innovative methodologies. We invite contributions that explore various dimensions of legal research, including empirical methods, socio-legal perspectives, and interdisciplinary frameworks, as well as the analysis of emerging domains of legal regulation. Papers should engage with the implications of these methodological shifts for both theoretical discourse and practical applications in law. We encourage authors to provide fresh insights that challenge established paradigms and foster a deeper understanding of legal phenomena. The editors welcome contributions from all relevant fields of science with a maximum length of 200,000 characters. Contributions should be submitted by usi...

Martin Löhnig (Hrsg.), Northern Italy as a contact zone between Austro-Hungarian and Italian law, Torino (Giappichelli) 2025 (ISBN: 9791221113396).

A few years later, however, they were replaced by the applicable Italian law. However, this was not done completely - some special features are still valid today. O...

Call for Articles 2024/25 What can legal history tell us about legal change in the immediate future? History does not repeat itself, but might enlighten us about the future and the possible choices that can be made. For instance the introduction of printed law will not have the same consequences as the introduction og digital law, but can still be used to detect what possible questions that might arise from a change in the technology used to communicate law. Legal history might have such an enlightening function both when society and politics change, causing law also to change, and when law is politically changed to make society change. Bringing in this element of legal futurology does not change the character of legal history as an empirically based science, mainly focused on investigating and interpretating texts of the past. However, it adds a dimension to legal history of empirically founded efforts to venture into the unknown. The editors welcome contributions from all releva...
