The Theory and Practice of Legislation (TPLeg)

The Theory and Practice of Legislation ( TPLeg) aims to offer an international and interdisciplinary forum for the examination of legislation. The main aim of the journal is to be the major international journal in the legal field dedicated to the theory, philosophy and practice of legislation (often referred to as "legislation studies," "legislative studies," "science of legislation," "legisprudence" or “nomography”). Indeed, TPLeg has been the highest ranked legislation journal in the world in the past three years, according to both Scopus and Scimago rankings of legal journals in 2023. At the same time, TPLeg also aims to be an interdisciplinary journal, and publishes high-quality articles by scholars in additional relevant disciplines, such as legislative studies and political science, public policy, regulation, governance, economics etc. The scope of the journal covers legislation in its broadest sense. Legislation is seen as both process and product, reflection of theoretical assumptions and a skill. This broad definition includes a broad spectrum of scholarship from the highly theoretical philosophical discussions of legislation to the highly practical scholarship, such as scholarship directed at instructing legislative drafters. It also covers both formal legislation and alternative forms of regulation, such as co-regulation, regulation by non-state actors, guidance, codes and directions from governments etc. The focus is on legislation as a subject in its own right, rather than substantive areas of law that are covered by legislation. For example, we are interested in articles on how or why the law of evidence is codified into legislation, rather than the content of the legislation on evidence. Therefore, blackletter descriptions of positive law are outside the scope of the journal.
