Organisation

The OUCLJ was for its first decade published by Hart Publishing but moved to Taylor & Francis in 2015.[2] It is the flagship journal of the University of Oxford's postgraduate law community, designed for contributions from academics, professionals and policy-makers, wherever situated, on matters of current interest to Commonwealth legal systems. Created in 2001, the journal provides a forum for international debate on both private and public law topics. Some pieces are explicitly comparative in orientation, while others concern a single jurisdiction only. All pieces published in the OUCLJ are selected on the basis that they are likely to be of interest to a larger Commonwealth audience. Submissions for publication are double-blind peer reviewed.[3] The journal is financially assisted by the Rhodes Trust.

Patrons

The Journal is supported by a board of patrons consisting of current or former judges from Commonwealth jurisdictions,[4] namely:

  • Sophia Akuffo (Ghana)
  • Edwin Cameron (South Africa)
  • James Edelman (Australia)
  • Brenda Hale (England & Wales)
  • Kenneth Hayne (Australia)
  • Sir Kenneth Keith (New Zealand)
  • Sujata Manohar (India)
  • Mumbi Ngugi (Kenya)
  • Robert Ribeiro (Hong Kong)
  • Robert Sharpe (Canada)
  • Anthony Smellie (Cayman Islands)

Sophia Akuffo, Lady Hale, and Mumbi Ngugi were appointed in 2017, following the passing of Lord Goff.[5]
