IJPL 2008 Best Paper Awards
The Third International Conference on Legal, Security and Privacy Issues in IT Law (LSPI)
3 - 5 September 2008
Prague, Czech Republic
Winner details

IJPL fosters discussion and provides a forum on all aspects of private law including audio-visual, media, communication, and space law, which have not been covered by any journals so far. Thus the need for an international medium through which the efforts of the international community will be disseminated is self-evident. IJPL explores the legal issues facing individuals, entrepreneurs, and business owners. It discusses provocative and timely issues facing both the national and international community.

The articles are written by professionals, lawyers, judges, academics and law students using a concise, journalistic style. IJPL explores the whole range of topics related to private law and is an essential resource for both students and professors. It is dedicated to providing comprehensive, practical, and current information for practicing attorneys, judges, students, and academics. To this end, IJPL strives to provide accurate, reliable, and contemporary information regarding the practice of private law worldwide.

 Go Top  Objectives

Problems of international dimension require international efforts. The objectives of IJPL are to establish an effective channel of communication between policy makers, government agencies, academic, research, legal practitioners, universities and businesses concerned with practical legal issues prevalent in private law. The aim is to attract the highest level of research results and to provide valuable insight into matters of broad intellectual and practical concern to the legal and business communities and meet the quality standards.

The immediate goal is to enable readers to obtain quality legal analysis that is easily accessible and, best of all, succinct. Readers can keep abreast of the daily highlights of legal news from around the nation and the world. IJPL provides an effective resource for comprehensive analysis of contemporary law issues to practicing attorneys, academia, and the business community in a manner that fosters the intellectual development of students and professionals. It breaks new ground on legal issues, provides an in-depth discussion of current developments and timely issues, particularly those with a cross-border focus, and offers a survey of the law in areas of particular interest to our international readership. Finally, the articles are also directed at business lawyers unfamiliar with a substantive area, as well as articles on technical legal issues.
