Krytyka Prawa. Niezależne Studia nad Prawem | Kozminski University Journals

About the Journal

A critical attitude toward law is necessary for its proper creation, interpretation, application and functioning. It requires an o pen, reliable and independent approach to the law as an object of intellectual reflection.

The Authors are kindly invited to exercise critique of the law from the perspective of theory and philosophy of law, social sciences, including economics, sociology, psychology. The topics of the subsequent issues will focus on questions of public law. Above all, we are publishing original articles that might be of interest to the international academic community within the profile of the journal, and texts that are of social or economic importance to Poland.
