I am happy to offer you the Spring issue of the NJCL, just in time for the yearly celebration of Midsummer. We proudly present the first issue of an officially peer-reviewed journal to continue the strand of high quality articles in the field of international trade law.
Firstly, Professor John Gotunda of Villanova University School of Law and Michael Bridge of the London School of Economics add to the series of CISG Advisory Council opinions; kindly furnished by Professor Albert Kritzer at Pace University Law School.
Professor Tamura’s piece analyzes intellectual property institutions with the objective of securing efficiency and legitimacy, and introduces a market-oriented approach to establishing functioning decision-making institutions.
The young and talented, University of Turku graduate, Pessi Honkasalo wrote his Master’s thesis on Reciprocity under the GNU Public Licenses. His research of the latest, third versions of the GNUs, is unprecedented both in substance and in quality.
Finally, Antonin Pribetic, raises the question of interpretation and implementation of the CISG in national law. He analyzes Canadian conflict of laws jurisprudence both from jurisdictional and conflict of laws perspective.
I wish you all an enjoyable read and a warm and sunny summer.
Sincerely,
Katja Weckström
