Editorial Boards

Membership in editorial boards of law journals

Since 2015, I am an Editorial Board member of European Company Law published by Kluwer Law International. The bimonthly law journal is dedicated to European company law, both as EU law and comparative law.

Beck between 2007 and 2010 (ISSN: 1898-4126). The HUK Law Quarterly was inspired by traditional German Archivzeitschrift type of journals from the one side, and by interdisciplinary American periodicals, mostly Law and Economics type ones, from the other side. The HUK Law Quarterly was innovative in many ways, had leading European experts on its Editorial Board, each issue opened with a bilingual (PL/EN) editorial (some international members of the Editorial Board wrote their editorials), and it was probably the first Polish law journal to use the JEL classification system. Additionally, HUK Law Quarterly allowed for publishing extensive interdisciplinary legal studies. Some of the papers published in the HUK Law Quarterly remain up to day the primary reference works in their fields.
