There are a few ways in which you can become involved in the continuing development of this new journal. You are most encouraged to share new and particularly relevant cases you come across with the editorial team for consideration for inclusion in upcoming issues. And, as already noted, several cases per issue will be the topic of a commentary. These will be prepared by experienced academics and labor rights practitioners with significant expertise in labor law against a . We welcome expressions of interest to join the list of commentators. Commentators will be asked to write short (circa 1500 words) commentaries (case notes) on a specific case, and its implications for the field of international labor law. This does not mean that you will be asked to write a commentary for each issue, but be available to be approached with certain cases that fit within your expertise and, when possible, provide a commentary within a given time-frame, usually one month.
