About the Journal

Ius Ecclesiae, the canon law review of the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross, aims to contribute to the scholarly study of the juridical experience of the Catholic Church. The journal encourages not only research of a doctrinal character, but also the study of jurisprudential praxis and canonical administrative activity, from the various theoretical perspectives - mainly canon law, but also legal theory, legal philosophy, and the analysis of state law regarding the juridical ecclesial experience. 

Ius Ecclesiae is a semiannual review of approximately 750 pages per year. The first volume of the journal was published in 1989. Contents of each issue: Doctrine; Jurisprudence of the Apostolic Tribunals, usually annotated; Notes and Commentaries; Bibliographical Survey (Bibliographical discussions, Reviews); Documents, usually annotated (Acts of the Roman Pontiff, Acts of the Holy See, Particular legislation).

This journal is part of the "PKP Preservation Network" of "Public Knowledge Project" (PKP) that allows digital preservation of the journal’s content for long-term access. More information at: PKP Preservation Network.

Ius Ecclesiae provides open access for all published scholarly content - apart from the content published in the last 2 years - in order to facilitate the dissemination of scholarly study and promote academic research, as well as to support the exchange of knowledge.
