Welcome to the Nordic Journal of European Law
The Nordic Journal of European Law (NJEL) is an open-access and peer reviewed journal of European law with a Nordic perspective founded and managed by researchers at the Faculty of Law at Lund University, in cooperation with other Nordic universities and specifically with the University of Southern Denmark, the University of Helsinki, the University of Bergen, Reykjavik University,Uppsala University and the University of Copenhagen. We publish four issues per year (two general issues and two special issues) via an open access format on the current webpage.
