Law & Ethics of Human Rights Journal
The College of Law and Business is happy to announce that according to the 2016 impact factor ranking of the Washington and Lee Law Journal Ranking the College’s international law journal:
LAW & ETHICS of HUMAN RIGHTS RANKS:
3rd among 589 international (non-US) law journals

Law & Ethics of Human Rights aspires to analyze and clarify the concepts of moral and legal rights and to contribute to conflict resolution in human rights law. Each issue of Law & Ethics of Human Rights focuses on one contemporary dilemma that raises major moral and legal questions. Each such dilemma is examined using an interdisciplinary approach to human rights law, an approach that strives to create associations between legal provisions and the philosophy underlying them. Top students are invited to sit on the student editorial board. LEHR is published by De Gruyter in both print and online and distributed to tens of thousands of subscribers worldwide.
