About the Journal

The Australian Journal of Labour Law is published by LexisNexis in three issues per year.

The Journal is designed to be of service both to the academic community and to practitioners in labour law and industrial relations.

The Journal seeks to publish articles, notes and comments, and detailed commentaries upon recent cases and legislation in the field of labour law. Articles may deal with an area of labour law in an analytical, theoretical or empirical fashion. Contributions detailing or analysing the importance of recent developments in labour law, or dealing with issues of policy and reform are also welcomed. The Journal is controlled by an Editorial Committee following a formal process of peer review.

Although the primary focus of the Journal is on Australian labour law, articles and contributions on overseas developments will be accepted for publication where they are of relevance to the Australian situation.
