Change is the Law of Life (J.F. Kennedy)

The challenges of the 21st century's world forced all of us to change. The law is subject to significant changes too. Sustainability issues, multi-scale digitalization as well as the global pandemic represent big challenges for modern law. To adapt to the new reality, it needs to transform and the main task of lawyers both researchers and practitioners is to offer the ways of its transformation.

The main idea of the creation of the International Journal of Law in Changing World was to offer intellectual independent space for highly relevant, ground-breaking research in the sphere of law, regulation, policy, and governance. It is not committed to any particular theory, ideology, or methodology and invites papers from a variety of standpoints, ideologies, perspectives, and methods. 

This is a big honor and great responsibility for us to lead this Journal. Our approach is based on the recognition that collaboration and people-to-people ties are the main pillars of the modern world. As the Editors-in-Chief, we are always open to suggestions and recommendations, cooperation, and partnership development.

On behalf of the International Journal of Law in Changing World, we wish our authors to increase excellence in legal research and its quality, and to develop better communication across the world.
