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, academics, researchers, 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 to meet 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, it publishes articles directed at business lawyers unfamiliar with a substantive area, as well as articles on technical legal issues.

Among its readers are businessmen, researchers, professionals, academics and legal practitioners.
