STUDIA IURIDICA Cassoviensia is an electronic scientific journal published by the Faculty of Law of the Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice. Its main aim is to publish original scientific articles and studies focused on various branches of legal science, as well as to bring discussion papers, case law review and reviews of scientific publications. The journal has a primarily regional character defined by the Central European area. The subject of research in the published articles and studies is mainly institutions within the legal systems of the Central European states, given the proximity of these legal systems and their contemporary and historical interrelationships. Papers of a supra-regional nature, whether in the field of legal theory, international or European law, are, of course, welcome, as well.

The scientific journal STUDIA IURIDICA Cassoviensia is published regularly twice a year, with publication dates in March and September. The Editorial Office may decide to publish a special issue, which will be published in December. The special issue is either monothematic or focuses on the publication of articles on national topics relevant to legal practice.

The scientific articles in the journal are published in Slovak, Czech and English, and are subject to a double-blind peer review by two independent reviewers. The scientific nature of the journal is also supported by the participation of foreign academics on the journal's editorial board.

In the view of the increased number of articles submitted for publication in the journal, preference is given to the publication of articles in English and articles with transnational relevance.

STUDIA IURIDICA Cassoviensia is an open access journal, i.e. all articles published in the journal are freely accessible on this website. The journal has been registered in ERIH Plus and CrossRef databases since 2015, in Index Copernicus since 2019 and in Heinonline and SCOPUS databases since 2023.
