Dear colleagues,

The following Special Issue will be published in Laws (ISSN 2075-471X,
http://www.mdpi.com/journal/laws/) and is
open for submission of a comprehensive review article or a full
research paper for peer-review and possible publication:

Special Issue: Advances in Environmental and Sustainability Law
Website: http://www.mdpi.com/si/laws/environmental_laws/
Guest Editor: Prof. Chris Tollefson
Deadline for manuscript submissions: 1 June 2012

You may send your manuscript now or up until the deadline.
Submitted papers should not have been published previously, nor be under
consideration for publication elsewhere. We also encourage authors to send
us their tentative title and short abstract by e-mail for approval to the
Editorial Office at laws@mdpi.com.

This Special Issue will be fully open access. Open access (unlimited and
free access by readers) increases publicity and promotes more frequent
citations as indicated by several studies. Open access is supported by the
authors and their institutes. More information is available at
http://www.mdpi.com/about/openaccess/ .

Article Processing Charges (APC) are waived for well prepared
manuscripts. However, a fee of 250 CHF may apply if
English editing or extensive revisions must be undertaken by the Editorial
Office. For details see: http://www.mdpi.com/about/apc/.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors before submitting a manuscript:
http://www.mdpi.com/journal/laws/instructions/. Manuscripts should be

Laws (ISSN 2075-471X) is an international, peer-reviewed,
quick-refereeing open access journal (free for readers), which publishes
works from extensive fields including legal systems, legal theory, legal
institutions, and a broad range of legal subjects. To guarantee a rapid
refereeing and editorial process, Laws follows standard publication
practices in the natural sciences.

MDPI publishes several peer-reviewed, open access journals listed at
http://www.mdpi.com/. The Editorial Board members, including several
Nobel Laureates (http://www.mdpi.com/about/nobelists/), are all leading
active scholars. All MDPI journals maintain rapid, yet rigorous, peer-
review, manuscript handling and editorial processes. MDPI journals have
increased their impact factors, see "2010 Newly Released Impact Factors",
