About the Journal

The Lex Favor Reo(LFR) is a peer-reviewed periodical that provides a dynamic platform for the dissemination of ideas on comparative law and reports on developments in the field of human rights protection from all parts of the world. In our contemporary globalized world, it is almost impossible to isolate developments in the law in one jurisdiction or society from another. At the same time, what is traditionally called comparative law is increasingly subsumed under aspects of International Law.  LFR is an open-access, peer-reviewed, and refereed international journal published by Universitas Negeri Surabaya.

The scope of LFR includes both private and public law, with a particular focus on comparative studies. The Editors encourage authors to submit interdisciplinary articles and/or analyse a legal problem from a comparative perspective. Consequently, we invite original contributions on public international law and the protection of human rights. By the same token, we welcome papers dealing with all fields of public law, legal theory, legal justice and philosophy, as well as the history of law.
