About Journals

The ANZELA Journal called "IJLE" (previously ANZJLE) brings together people and ideas about Education Law. The decision was made to change the name of the journal to reflect the increasingly international focus of the articles published in its pages. Be sure to read and share, as each edition tackles emerging issues for educators, administrators and advocates.
