Australian Journal of Corporate Law
The Australian Journal of Corporate Law provides a forum for interdisciplinary debate and discussion of major contemporary policy and research issues affecting corporate law.
Contributions are invited from academics, researchers and practitioners. High consideration will be given to articles with a strong policy, theoretical or reform focus. Although most articles will have an Australian orientation, articles adopting a comparative perspective or which cast light on the global dimensions of corporate law and regulation are also encouraged. This journal publishes three issues annually.
