'''The Columbia Journal of European Law (CJEL)''', established in 1994, is one of the only law reviews in the United States devoted exclusively to European Law and enjoys a prominent and influential place in the international legal community. It currently ranks among the top five foreign and civil law journals in the country, and is the most cited journal of European legal scholarship in North America.[1] Because of its prominence in the field, CJEL is widely subscribed to by academic institutions across Europe and North America.
The '''''Columbia Journal of European Law''''' (CJEL) is a [[law review]] edited and published entirely by students at [[Columbia Law School]], in collaboration with the [[Catholic University]] in [[Leuven]], [[Belgium]].
Published under the auspices of The European Legal Studies Center at Columbia Law School[2], Columbia students are entirely responsible for CJEL’s publication.

Since 2009, CJEL publishes, in addition to the printed version, a supplemental online version.
Every CJEL article is catalogued and archived on its website, although only the introduction or abstract is available online at present. Full articles are available in the print version, as well as on Westlaw, LEXIS, and HeinOnline.

'''ONLINE SUPPLEMENT'''

In April 2009, CJEL launched an online edition to supplement the print journal. This online supplement is available on the journal’s website in its entirety. Because of the space and time limitations inherent in print publications, the online supplement was intended to allow a more rapid exploration of important case law and legislative developments, in order to reflect the ever increasing pace of the dissemination of legal information in the modern era. Although the majority of the articles published online are produced by post-graduate legal students at Columbia Law School, the journal actively seeks submissions from outside of the school.

'''MERGER WITH THE COLUMBIA JOURNAL OF EAST EUROPEAN LAW'''

In Spring 2009 CJEL absorbed the Columbia Journal of East European Law, and starting with its Fall 2009 issue will publish an article on East European law in each issue. The Editorial Boards of each journal believed that such a merger would best reflect the rapid eastward expansion of the European Union, which has added 12 Central and East European nations in the past five years, as well as the growth of other transnational organizations, such as the Council of Europe.

'''EVENTS'''

On April 18, 2009 CJEL, together with The European Legal Studies Center, hosted a dinner in celebration of the 15th anniversary of the Journal and the launch of the online supplement. Jean-Claude Piris, the Director-General of the Legal Service of the Council of the European Union, was the keynote speaker.

The Columbia Journal of European Law (CJEL), established in 1994, is one of the only law reviews in the United States devoted exclusively to European Law and enjoys a prominent and influential place in the international legal community. It currently ranks among the top five foreign and civil law journals in the country, and is the most cited journal of European legal scholarship in North America.[1] Because of its prominence in the field, CJEL is widely subscribed to by academic institutions across Europe and North America. Published under the auspices of The European Legal Studies Center at Columbia Law School[2], Columbia students are entirely responsible for CJEL’s publication. Close collaboration is kept with the Catholic University in Leuven, Belgium, which keeps the journal abreast of recent developments in the case law of the European Court of Justice. CJEL publishes three issues per year—Winter, Spring, and Summer—and contains articles exploring every dimension of European Law in its broadest sense. This includes the law of the European Union and law at the national or regional levels, as well as jurisprudential questions relevant to the development of law and legal institutions in Europe. Its articles cover a range of issues and are authored by leading academics and practitioners. Many articles are comparative in nature and directly relevant to the United States. Every CJEL article is catalogued and archived on its website, although only the introduction or abstract is available online at present. Full articles are available in the print version, as well as on Westlaw, LEXIS, and HeinOnline.

ONLINE SUPPLEMENT

In April 2009, CJEL launched an online edition to supplement the print journal. This online supplement is available on the journal’s website in its entirety. Because of the space and time limitations inherent in print publications, the online supplement was intended to allow a more rapid exploration of important case law and legislative developments, in order to reflect the ever increasing pace of the dissemination of legal information in the modern era. Although the majority of the articles published online are produced by post-graduate legal students at Columbia Law School, the journal actively seeks submissions from outside of the school.

MERGER WITH THE COLUMBIA JOURNAL OF EAST EUROPEAN LAW

In Spring 2009 CJEL absorbed the Columbia Journal of East European Law, and starting with its Fall 2009 issue will publish an article on East European law in each issue. The Editorial Boards of each journal believed that such a merger would best reflect the rapid eastward expansion of the European Union, which has added 12 Central and East European nations in the past five years, as well as the growth of other transnational organizations, such as the Council of Europe.

EVENTS

On April 18, 2009 CJEL, together with The European Legal Studies Center, hosted a dinner in celebration of the 15th anniversary of the Journal and the launch of the online supplement. Jean-Claude Piris, the Director-General of the Legal Service of the Council of the European Union, was the keynote speaker.
