The Journal of Asian
Legal History, an on-line journal that is free to all students in the
field, is sponsored by The Hall Center for the Humanities at The University
of Kansas.
It is devoted to the history and development of law in China, Japan, Korea,
Vietnam,
and contiguous areas of central Asia from its beginnings until the end
of the nineteenth and the start of the twentieth century. In addition
to individual articles, the Journal is also interested in publishing groups
of articles on particular topics such as might result from academic meetings,
as well as translations of seminal articles originally written in languages
other than those used in the Journal. Several features are offered that
we hope will make it attractive to students of the field. Articles will
be published in English, French, German, and Italian and may be of any
length. Chinese and Japanese characters, Japanese kana and the Korean
alphabet may be used both in the text and footnotes
and scanning also allows for manuscript material to be displayed as it
appears in the original. Translations of legal documents are welcomed
and will include the original texts. Articles published in the Journal
can be read and printed both with Macintosh and PC computers using the
Adobe Acrobat Reader® which is a free download from Adobe.com. The
copyright remains with the author. We ask only that the article not appear
in any medium for a year after appearing in the journal and that if it
does appear at a later time that acknowledgement of its first publication
in the journal be given.
