About the Journal

De lege is a publication series from the Faculty of Law in Uppsala.

The purpose of the series is to communicate law-related research. The emphasis is often on research conducted by researchers working at the Faculty of Law in Uppsala, but legal researchers at Swedish and foreign universities have also contributed over the years. No subject in the field of law is beyond the scope of De lege. It may include, for example, Legal History, Legal Philosophy, Public International Law, Criminal Law, Private Law, Civil and Criminal Procedural Law, Public Law, European Law, Environmental Law and Fiscal Law.

The Faculty of Law publishes a new book every year on a specific topic. To ensure that the volumes of De lege meet high standards of scientific quality, the published contributions undergo extensive scientific and linguistic review. Each volume normally has one or more editors responsible for the planning and implementation of the book project. One editor has overall responsibility for the series. Previous editors of the series have been Professors Per Henrik Lindblom, Nils Jareborg and Petter Asp. The current editor of the series is Professor Mattias Dahlberg.
