Kent Law School alumni Michael Testori and Andre Sinanan have launched\u00a0The International Student Law Review <\/a>(TISLR), a new online academic publication providing a peer-reviewed platform for students and academics alike\u00a0to publish their work.<\/p>\n

Michael and Andre (pictured right)\u00a0are the Editors in Chief, managing the journal in collaboration with a diverse group of international students, all of whom share a commitment to developing critical and intra-disciplinary legal scholarship. Contributions to TISLR are invited from students,\u00a0academics and practitioners, irrespective of their jurisdiction of practice.<\/p>\n

Andre, who was previously Executive Editor of the Kent Student Law Review whilst studying his Law LLB degree at Kent, said: \u2018Our aim is to promote an academic and intellectual discussion of topical, legal issues around the world. We seek to publish the most innovative and critical scholarship, particularly those that offer an intra-disciplinary or unique perspective on these areas, and believe that TISLR is in a unique position to capitalize upon the commonalities that exist across legal jurisdictions.\u2019<\/p>\n

Amongst the members of the Editorial Board are Kent English and French Law student Morgan Taylor together with Kent Law School alumni Indre Dapkeviciute and Stacia Franz.<\/p>\n

TISLR utilises a double blind peer review process; articles undergo a first round selection process by the Editorial Board before being referred to a separate Review Committee comprised of\u00a0academics from the University of Hong Kong. The Review Committee\u00a0then make\u00a0a recommendation\u00a0regarding publication. Details of how to\u00a0make a submission<\/a>\u00a0are available on\u00a0 TISLR’s website together with\u00a0profiles<\/a>\u00a0of the members of both the Editorial Board and the Review Committee.<\/p>\n

As well as seeking submissions, the TISLR team is seeking to\u00a0recruit<\/a>\u00a0new members of its Editorial Board and Review Committee. It is also keen to hear from staff writers willing to write contributions for TISLR\u2019s \u2018Recent Issues\u2019 blog<\/a>. The blog\u2019s inaugural post, written by Michael and focusing on updates to Supplementary Protection Certificates, was published earlier this month.<\/p>\n

More information is available via\u00a0TISLR\u2019s social media channels on\u00a0Facebook<\/a>,\u00a0LinkedIn<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n
