Inviting Contributions
Frontiers of Law in China (FLC) is a scholarly journal (quarterly), launched in 2006, presently co-published by Higher Education Press and Thomson Reuters.
The editorial welcomes articles from scholars, researchers, legal practitioners, and postgraduates in the field of law who are interested in Chinese law and comparative law between China and other countries, and the related legal issues that explore the significance of the contemporary reform of Chinese law and Chinese legal system. Starting from 2010, Frontiers of Law in China has gone through a thorough adjustment. Rather than selecting the published top articles for translation, we are now asking for original papers in good quality written in English. All the manuscripts will go through peer reviews before being accepted for publication.
