Editorial
Welcome to the IALS Student Law Review
Tugce Yalcin
Welcome to 2020's first issue of the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies' Student Law Review (ISLRev),
the University of London. This issue has some fascinating articles which deal with hotly debated topics
and will be detailed in brief in a moment. However, this issue also represents a changing of the guard
as a new Editorial Board has been elected. We would like to take this opportunity to introduce ourselves
and also outline and explain the exciting plans we have for the future of the ISLRev.
Before we introduce ourselves, we would like to thank the outgoing Editor-in-Chief, Lovinia Otudor, for
her work for the ISLRev. We wish you all the best for your future plans.
This year, ISLRev is fortunate to have one Editor-in-Chief, an Academic Editor, a Deputy Editor and an
Associate Editor. We would like to take a moment to introduce each in turn:
The Editor-in-Chief is Tugce Yalcin. She is a lawyer working for a global law firm and is specialised in
Corporate Law, cross-border M&A and financial transactions as well as Commercial Law, Investment
Law and European Law. She is currently a PhD candidate at IALS researching about Warranty and
Disclosure of Information in M&A Transactions in the Light of the Theory of Contract Law - Comparison
of the Common Law and the Civil Law.
Our Deputy Editor for this year is Emmanuel Saffa Abdulai. Emmanuel is a lecturer in media law,
academic legal writing, and Rule of Law, Justice and Peace Building at the Fourah Bay College,
University of Sierra Leone. He is Editor-in-Chief of the Journal on Human Rights Law in Sierra Leone.
Emmanuel is currently a second year PhD candidate at IALS specialising in constitutional and
administrative law.
Our Associate Editor for this year is George M. Daoud. George has a background in the Law
Enforcement, Financial, and is currently in the Legal industry as a practitioner in Canada. He is currently
a PhD candidate at IALS, focusing on International Financial Law with an emphasis on Emerging
Technologies and its effect on the sophistication of Money/Cyber laundering practices.
We are fortunate to be joined by Professor Anton Cooray from City, the University of London. He acts
in the role of Academic Editor of the ISLRev.
As we have said, there are big plans ahead for the ISLRev this year. We plan to open up the journal
and improve access to all postgraduate students in the UK and, possibly, abroad. This, we are hoping,
will attract fascinating articles from the widest possible spectrum of legal expertise.
The opening up of the Journal will be accompanied by an increased number of engagement events.
We aim to provide these events several times within an academic year and will bring together
academics, practitioners and students to share their perspectives as well as advice on publishing while
also giving attendees a chance to network. Please do keep an eye out for more information.
Finally, for each issue of the ISLRev going forward, the Editor-in-Chief will alternate writing an editorial
opinion piece at the beginning of each issue. These will give a broad overview of relevant legal topics
alongside the articles included in the respective issue.
