Qatar University College of Law (QU-LAWC) has released a print version volume of selected articles published in its journal, the International Review of Law (IRL). The hard copy bound volume contains peer reviewed articles and abstracts in Arabic and English from the journal’s last two editions.
They are edited by LAWC professors, Qatari graduates and international legal scholars, and printed in Qatar. Guest forewords were authored by Justice Barbra Dohmann, of Qatar International Court and Dispute Resolution Centre, and Head of McNair Chambers Qatar Prof Khawar Qureshi.
The volume covers articles from Qatar-based and international authors on a range of topical legal issues such as corporate law, international law, admiralty law, energy law, Islamic law, medical law, media law, Shariah law, ethics, telecommunications privacy issues, energy transmission, corporate law and more.
LAWC dean Dr Mohamed al-Khulaifi said: “The high quality and diversity of legal subjects in these volumes will ensure that articles and legal issues addressed within will have considerable impact in the legal and academic community, enabling our goal of advancing vibrant dialogue across cultures and borders.”
Justice Dohmann said: “Having looked back at the issues to date, I see wide ranging, truly international, and instructive articles in a variety of topical fields, offering insight into and critical evaluation of problems arising in different legal systems.”
Prof Qureshi stated: “The true test of any legal system is its ability to engage in critical and constructive self-assessment on a regular basis, as well as being receptive to well-meaning input from others interested in promoting a strong legal system.”
Editor-in-Chief Dr Jon Truby said: “The journal’s online articles have gained increasing popularity since its launch in 2012, and in presenting this volume of thought provoking intellectual articles, we are responding to a high demand from our readers.”
