New Journal Edited by Professor Amann Released
The first issue of a new electronic abstract journal edited by Professor Diane Marie Amann, a legal scholar with special interests in international criminal law, criminal law and procedure, and constitutional law, was released in January through the Legal Scholarship Network, part of the Social Science Research Network (SSRN).
International, Transnational, and Comparative Criminal Law features abstracts of articles and works-in-progress relating to criminal law and procedure in matters that have cross-border attributes or involve the interplay of national, regional, or international legal regimes, norms, or systems. Topics include, but are not limited to, substantive norm-development through positive enactments, custom, and jurisprudence; the theoretical underpinnings, sociolegal justifications, and actual effectiveness of adjudicatory institutions, such as national courts empowered to consider extranational law, international or hybrid criminal tribunals, and truth commissions or other alternative mechanisms; and the global evolution of procedural standards within and across criminal justice systems. Scholarship representing a cross-section of approaches and methodologies is welcome.
SSRN is devoted to the rapid worldwide dissemination of social science research and is composed of a number of specialized research networks in each of the social sciences, including the Legal Scholarship Network. Each of SSRN's networks encourages the early distribution of research results by publishing submitted abstracts and by soliciting abstracts of top quality research papers around the world.
