The Oxford University Commonwealth Law Journal is an international journal dedicated to the study of legal trends and developments within and between Commonwealth jurisdictions.
Overview
The OUCLJ exists to support and to foster legal research and scholarship within and between Commonwealth jurisdictions by providing a forum for discussion and debate among academic lawyers, practitioners, and policy-makers. As the flagship journal for the University of Oxford’s postgraduate law community, the OUCLJ publishes scholarly articles relating to the law of individual jurisdictions as well as comparing the development of legal principles across the Commonwealth. The Journal embraces both private and public law topics and is not restricted to common law topics or comparative pieces. Published biannually with a summer and winter issue by Hart Publishing, the OUCLJ is produced under the aegis of the University of Oxford Faculty of Law.
One of the strongest ties among the Commonwealth countries is their shared legal tradition. The Commonwealth of Nations includes fifty-three jurisdictions that benefit from the common law tradition, originating from the common law of England and Wales. That said, the days have passed when Commonwealth countries slavishly followed precedent set by the English courts. For more than fifty years, Commonwealth countries have been developing the common law in a variety of directions and, in so doing, refining its genius. In order to record and to analyse the ever-changing face of Commonwealth law, the University of Oxford Faculty of Law established the Oxford University Commonwealth Law Journal. The Journal’s most recent call for papers was received by more than 170 universities in twenty-nine jurisdictions. With the inclusion of the United States, the jurisdictions covered by the OUCLJ include nearly 2.2 billion people, or more than one third of the world population, across Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Europe, North America, and Oceania.
Content
The content of the OUCLJ includes articles, case notes, books reviews, and other sections in exceptional issues.
Recent articles from African jurisdictions have examined State liability in Botswana, economic development in Ghana, policing in Kenya, management of land in Nigeria, extra-judicial services of judges in South Africa, and corporate insolvency in Zambia. Examples from Asian jurisdictions featured human rights litigation in Hong Kong, confidentiality regarding HIV/AIDS in India, and case-management in Singapore. Articles on jurisdictions in the Americas have considered capital punishment in the Caribbean, freedom of religious expression in Canada, and those on the jurisdictions of Oceania, while those from the jurisdictions of Oceania have surveyed native title in Australia, the rule of law in Fiji, jurisprudential theory in New Zealand, and divorce in the Solomon Islands.
Other articles have addressed the development of legal principles across the Commonwealth on such topics as good faith, agency, consideration, legitimate expectation, equity and unregistered land rights, recovery of economy loss in negligence, the Westminster system, breach of trust, comparative models of constitutionalism, unjust enrichment, rights of survivorship, violence in professional sport, entrapment, and Internet libel.
Case notes critically analyse and evaluate rulings from the House of Lords, the Privy Council, the national courts of the Commonwealth States, the European Court of Justice, and the European Court of Human Rights.
