Academic Contribution
Articles submitted to IJULR should contribute original insights and provide a broader perspective on legal issues. Authors are encouraged to go beyond purely national frameworks by incorporating comparative and international legal perspectives. This approach enables students, researchers, and practitioners to better understand how laws operate across jurisdictions, how international standards evolve, and how such frameworks can inform national policy, practice, and future research.
