About the Journal
YUI LexForum : Journal of Law & Policy aims to serve as an academic forum that links legal analysis with the formulation and evaluation of public policy. The journal concentrates on generating evidence-based knowledge that is useful to policymakers, regulators, law-enforcement practitioners, and scholars for the formulation, assessment, and improvement of legal and regulatory policies.
YUI LexForum : Journal of Law & Policy accepts manuscripts addressing the interaction between legal norms and public policy, including but not limited to: legal policy analysis and the evaluation of regulatory implementation; administrative law and good governance; sectoral economic regulation and the policy impacts on economic actors; environmental law and natural resource management policy; the harmonisation of regulations, deregulation, and regulatory reform; public health law and social policy; regulation of technology and personal data and their implications for public policy; and comparative studies of legal policy across jurisdictions that emphasise policy lessons translatable to local or national contexts.
YUI LexForum : Journal of Law & Policy supports a range of methodologies relevant to policy analysis, including legal document analysis, case studies, surveys, structured or semi-structured interviews, statistical analysis, cost–benefit analysis, regulatory impact assessment, and mixed-methods approaches. Manuscripts must provide a clear account of their methodological design and explicitly demonstrate the relevance of the data to the policy recommendations presented. YUI LexForum : Journal of Law & Policy prioritizes open access (OA) to expand the reach of scholarly findings. Publication frequency: semi-annual (twice yearly), with the option to increase frequency depending on editorial capacity and manuscript throughput.
