Comparative Civil Procedure

Journal of Comparative Civil Procedure
Objectives and Scope

The journal's primary mission is to advance comparative legal scholarship in civil and commercial procedural law. Our conception of civil procedure encompasses:

• Access to justice

• Right to an independent and impartial tribunal

• Fair trial guarantees

• Effective enforcement of judgments
  This broad framework incorporates all dispute resolution mechanisms - judicial, non-judicial, administrative, consensual, and alternative methods - whether public, private, or quasi-public in nature.

Comparative Methodology
We employ system-based, country-specific, and regional/global comparative approaches to develop innovative perspectives for the evolution and refinement of civil procedure.
