Editorial [ELSA Malta Law Review, 5, 2015]

Abstract

The year 2011 saw the birth of the ELSA Malta Law Review, a student-edited and peer-reviewed law journal published by the European Law Students’ Association Malta (ELSA). Throughout the years the law journal has gained increased credibility and the support of many law students, legal practitioners and academics in the legal field and has indeed become a point of reference for legal minds across the European continent. As the fifth Editor-in-Chief of the law journal, it is a great honour to present to you the fifth edition of the Elsa Malta Law Review. This year’s edition features eight contributions: one case comment, one book review and six articles, tackling a number of topics, namely Maritime Law, Civil Law, Criminal Law, Constitutional Law, International Law and International Relations, and Gender Discrimination and Human Rights Law.
