REALaw.blog welcomes spontaneous submissions of blog posts related to all aspects of European and comparative administrative law. It publishes accessible scholarship on traditional questions of legal interest in the field of European and administrative law, the impact of EU law on national administrative law, comparative administrative law, the interaction between EU and national institutions, and fundamental rights. REALaw.blog aims to provide a friendly forum for interdisciplinary academic engagement on a broad range of issues at the intersection of law and public policy in Europe.

Blog posts pertaining to case law should focus on CJEU and ECHR rulings on European administrative law, as well as on judgments of national courts with particular significance for European and comparative administrative law.
