About the Journal

Ars æqui is a peer-reviewed academic journal of the Faculty of Law and Administrative Sciences, Ovidius University of Constanța, Romania. It publishes original, high-quality contributions from scholars and practitioners on contemporary issues of legal doctrine and practice, as well as case law commentaries and book reviews. The journal encourages diverse methodological approaches, from natural law and legal history to comparative law and law in context. It also welcomes interdisciplinary research that bridges law and governance, engaging with questions of public administration, economics, sociology, and political science. In this way, Ars æqui seeks a deeper understanding of how law and governance shape and are shaped by society in the legal systems of Romania, the broader CEE region, and beyond.
