The Comparative Labor Law & Policy Journal (CLLPJ), the leading international journal on labour law and policy, is embarking on an exciting new chapter at Osgoode Hall Law School, beginning in Fall 2024. Renowned for its rigorous scholarship on labour and employment law, social policy, and comparative labour systems, it plays a crucial role in advancing global understanding of labour issues that impact economies, workforces, and legal systems.
With Osgoode’s longstanding commitment to legal excellence, equity, and impactful scholarship, the journal’s new home will enhance its global influence on labour issues and reinforce Osgoode’s reputation as a leader in labour and social policy. “This transition perfectly aligns with Osgoode’s mission to foster innovative, interdisciplinary research and tackle complex challenges in labour and employment law,” said Dean Trevor Farrow.
Professors Valerio De Stefano and Sara Slinn, globally respected experts in labour rights, technology, and collective bargaining, will take the helm as editors-in-chief. Their leadership marks a fresh new vision for CLLPJ, focusing on:
- Broadening the scope to include emerging issues in labour and technology, globalization, and policy innovation.
- Expanding interdisciplinary and comparative approaches to labour law scholarship.
- Encouraging contributions that address global labour challenges, inequality, collective bargaining coverage, sustainable businesses, and other topics that resonate with SDGs.
Osgoode students will play an integral role through a unique course that immerses them in academic publishing and CLLPJ’s editorial processes, offering hands-on experience that develops professional skills in analysis, editing, and legal scholarship.
Osgoode Hall Law School invites scholars, practitioners, and students to engage with CLLPJ as it advances global dialogue on pressing labour issues, supports sustainable labour practices, and shapes the future of labour law and policy. “This new era of CLLPJ at Osgoode promises to expand the journal’s reach and deepen its impact on labour law scholarship worldwide,” said Dean Farrow.
