Background

LGD (Law, Social Justice and Global Development) is an innovative new electronic law journal covering a range of topics relating to legal issues surrounding the impact of globalisation on social development. It contains a diversity of materials including peer reviewed and non-refereed articles, commentaries, work in progress articles, book reviews, and conference reports and papers, as well as information papers, news and details of global conferences.

The Journal is an activity of the International Development Law and Human Rights Research Group of Warwick Law School. The first issue of LGD was published on 18 December 2000.

LGD is published under the Electronic Law Journals (ELJ) project which provides a forum for continuing dialogue on law and IT and law and social justice issues.

The ELJ Project was initiated under the Electronic Libraries Programme (eLib), which was set up under the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) as a direct response to the Follett Report. It is now supported by the School of Law, University of Warwick.

The LGD and ELJ team have established a high standard that is shaping the future of electronic legal journals. They will ensure that they consistently deliver a combination of scholarly content, good design and a user-friendly approach, overseen by the ELJ Steering Committee, and an international body of editors, advisors and referees. With such a global perspective, LGD is of immediate appeal to an international audience of legal academics, students and legal practitioners and anyone interested the legal aspects of globalisation.
