Clio@Themis: New Electronic Journal in Legal History

Resources

A new eletronic journal devoted to legal history has been established entitled Clio@Themis. It is accessible at http://www.cliothemis.com/ It is associated with the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS).

The first issue contains a survey of aspects of the state of the subject in Europe under the title "Nouveaux regards sur l’histoire du droit". Articles, by Alain Wijffels , Dirk Heirbaut , Michael Stolleis, Paolo Alvazzi del Frate , Heikki Pihlajamäk , Brian Tamahana , Dominique Linhardt, are in French and English.

I could not get the facility to produce the articles in a PDF format to work. No doubt this is a small initial glitch.

There are distinguished editorial and advisory committees.

The next issue is on Histoires des Cultures Juridiques, and there is a call for submissions on Actualités du droit romain, and Chantiers de l’histoire du droit colonial
