Journal Descriptions

The Journal of Legal Affairs and Dispute Resolution in Engineering and Construction is a quarterly, peer-reviewed journal published by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) since 2009. It serves as a specialized forum for scholarly and practice-oriented discussions at the intersection of legal theory, dispute resolution methods, and engineering/construction industry practice. The journal addresses key legal issues encountered throughout the lifecycle of engineering and construction projects, including contract interpretation, professional liability, public procurement regulation, negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and other alternative dispute resolution (ADR) strategies. It also explores legislative and regulatory compliance, insurance and risk governance, environmental and labor law impacts on construction, and ethical/legal frameworks guiding project delivery. By integrating legal analysis with engineering and management research, the journal provides strategic insights for lawyers, engineers, project managers, academics, and policymakers engaged in dispute avoidance and resolution, risk management, and contractual governance. Its quarterly issues include original articles, comprehensive case studies, and in-depth technical reviews, enhancing understanding of how legal frameworks influence project outcomes and infrastructure performance. Indexing in major databases such as Web of Science, Scopus, Ei Compendex, and INSPEC underscores its academic influence.
