About the Journal

Aims and Scope
The main aim of AJEE is to offer a forum for discussion of topical issues of judiciary and civil procedure reforms, sharing research results related to access to justice developments in East European countries. This scope has been chosen due to special mixed features of post-socialist legal doctrine’s legacy and Western influence, as well as the legislative approximation to EU law.
We also welcome and encourage submissions from other regions that explore comparative perspectives or offer insights into global trends and developments related to access to justice.
See more details on the scope and aim of the journal in the Authors Guide.
