The European Journal of Empirical Legal Studies (EJELS) is a fully open access peer-reviewed journal devoted to the empirical study of law and legal systems. It aims to bridge the substantive domain of law and the empirical approaches broadly conceived, ranging from quantitative to qualitative methods.

The European Journal of Empirical Legal Studies (EJELS) welcomes novel and innovative contributions in the form of research articles, short articles, new datasets, and methodological developments and teaching notes. EJELS also welcomes proposals for Special Issues on innovative and focused topics.

EJELS is open to quantitative as well as qualitative scholars, acknowledging the richness in approaching different issues from various angles and using complementary or mixed methods approaches. Editorial decisions are based on the high quality of the research. The Journal is not restricted to any particular field of law nor any particular legal system, but submissions need to be of relevance to a European audience.
