IJLSE proposes and fosters discussion on the application of scientific knowledge to litigation, adjudication, legislation and public policy, with emphasis on the implications that informed interpretation of science exert on policy choices. IJLSE serves as a vehicle for exploring systematic approaches to scientific evidence in specific disputes. The journal is particularly interested in issues involving medicine, ecological analysis and risk assessment, and “critical appraisal" (as applied in health care sciences) to assist courts, administrative agencies, and policymakers.
 Objectives
The objectives of IJLSE are to establish an effective channel of communication between policy makers, the legal community, the expert community, risk and liability managers, government agencies, academic and research institutions and persons concerned with the resolution of complex disputes that are informed by science. It also aims to promote and coordinate developments to encourage the growth of a defined intellectual discipline of evidence-based dispute resolution. The international dimension is emphasised in order to overcome cultural and national barriers and to meet the needs of accelerating technological and ecological change, changes in the global economy, cultural differences in values and toward the application of public knowledge, and comparative law. Readership
IJLSE addresses itself primarily to a readership expected to include professionals (especially in law, engineering, medicine, and public health), academics, researchers and policy makers, working in the field of law, healthcare, legislation, international trade, technology management, engineering and business education, in order to disseminate information and to learn from each other's work.
