The journal was founded in 1927 by Ernst Rabel as the key German forum for fundamental research in the field of private, economic and procedural law in their international aspects.
The journal was founded in 1927 by Ernst Rabel as the key German forum for fundamental research in the field of private, economic and procedural law in their international aspects. Areas of specific interest are thus comparative law and foreign law in comparative analysis, the conflict of laws, the law of international transactions and the unification of law, including the law of the European Union.
The journal sees itself as a forum of international academic discourse and intellectual exchange with foreign research. It publishes fundamental articles (in German, English and French) from all fields of work covered by the Institute.
Since 2024, the Rabel Journal has been published as an Open Access journal as part of the Subscribe-to-Open model (S2O).
The Rabel Journal of Comparative and International Private Law is listed in: Baidu Scholar, Ebsco Discovery Service, Index to Foreign Legal Periodicals, Kuselit Online und Web of Science ESCI.
