ERA FORUM

Journal of the Academy of European Law

ERA Forum is a quarterly journal published by ERA in cooperation with Springer (Berlin/ Heidelberg). It is composed of articles based on the most outstanding presentations delivered at ERA’s conferences. The journal can be accessed in several ways: through individual article downloads, in the form of an annual subscription, or mainly as part of online packages available to institutional subscribers around the world.

Thanks to a framework of agreements between Springer and the authors’ institutions – often universities – an increasing number of these articles is available for free as part of an “Open Access” arrangement.

Articles from the journal were downloaded a total of 79,117 times in 2019, 53% more than in the previous year.

From “FinTech on the Dark Web” and “The Risks and Rewards of Deploying Malware in Pursuit of Justice” through “U.S. Sanctions on Iran vs. the EU Blocking Regulation” to “The Impact of the General Data Protection Regulation on Social Security” and “Animal Welfare before the CJEU”, the original and insightful articles published in 2019 reflected the breadth and depth of European law.

The authors included judges from the European and national courts, senior lawyers in private practice and top academics from across Europe.
