Editorial: Twenty Years of the Utrecht Law Review

This editorial commemorates the twentieth anniversary of the Utrecht Law Review (ULR), reflecting on its evolution and impact. Since its inception, ULR has been an online, open-access journal, initially hosted by Utrecht University and now published by Ubiquity Press. The journal has consistently addressed pressing societal challenges from a legal perspective, aligning with the Faculty’s focus on shaping society and addressing critical social issues. Over the years, ULR has published a diverse range of articles, with a significant number focusing on regulation and enforcement in Europe, accountability and liability law, sustainability, family law, and more. The journal has also embraced a multidimensional legal research agenda, publishing articles that cross boundaries between legal fields and other disciplines. As ULR celebrates its porcelain anniversary, it continues to thrive, supported by the Law School, its Managing Editor, a dedicated Board of Editors, and a large pool of external reviewers.

Abstract

This editorial commemorates the twentieth anniversary of the Utrecht Law Review (ULR), reflecting on its evolution and impact. Since its inception, ULR has been an online, open-access journal, initially hosted by Utrecht University and now published by Ubiquity Press. The journal has consistently addressed pressing societal challenges from a legal perspective, aligning with the Faculty’s focus on shaping society and addressing critical social issues. Over the years, ULR has published a diverse range of articles, with a significant number focusing on regulation and enforcement in Europe, accountability and liability law, sustainability, family law, and more. The journal has also embraced a multidimensional legal research agenda, publishing articles that cross boundaries between legal fields and other disciplines. As ULR celebrates its porcelain anniversary, it continues to thrive, supported by the Law School, its Managing Editor, a dedicated Board of Editors, and a large pool of external reviewers.
