About the Journal
Journal of the College of Law for Legal and Political Sciences – University of Kirkuk
In light of the transformations and developments taking place in Iraq across various fields, particularly in scientific research, the College of Law at the University of Kirkuk has sought to keep pace with these developments and contribute to supporting and advancing academic research. From this perspective, the Journal of the College of Law for Legal and Political Sciences was established as a specialized academic platform for publishing research and studies in the fields of law and political science.
The establishment of the journal has encouraged academic staff, particularly faculty members, to conduct and publish research. This has helped promote a culture of scientific research and encouraged academic perseverance and scholarly productivity.
The journal’s role has not been limited to supporting researchers at the College of Law at the University of Kirkuk, but has extended to researchers from various Iraqi universities and academic institutions. These efforts culminated in the publication of the journal’s first issue on 1 February 2012, which contained eleven research papers written by researchers affiliated with different Iraqi universities, as well as the Iraqi Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research.
At its inaugural meeting, the Editorial Board decided that the journal would be published every three months. Accordingly, the second issue was published on 1 May 2012, and the journal subsequently continued to publish research and studies in law and political science in accordance with its editorial policy and approved publication schedule.
The journal seeks to contribute to the advancement of scientific research, disseminate legal and political knowledge, and strengthen academic communication and cooperation among researchers and specialists.
