About the Journal

Welcome to Revista ESASP – Revista Científica Virtual da Escola Superior de Advocacia da OAB/SP

Founded in 2009, Revista ESASP is a Diamond Open Access scholarly journal with continuous publication. Committed to excellence, academic rigour and ethical integrity, the journal serves as a qualified platform for the dissemination of legal knowledge, charging no submission, review, processing or publication fees (APCs), and contributing to the democratisation of access to scientific output.

Mission and Scope

Revista ESASP's mission is to foster contemporary legal debate through the publication of original research of high scientific relevance, contributing to the critical development of legal thought in Brazil and in dialogue with the national and international academic community.

Its editorial scope focuses on the analysis of law in its multiple dimensions, with an emphasis on critical, interdisciplinary and cross-cutting approaches that connect law to today's political, economic, technological and social challenges. The journal favours studies that examine the interactions between Public and Private Law, as well as the impact of institutional change, international dynamics and digital innovation on legal systems, including topics related to Human Rights and Socio-environmental Justice.

The journal's thematic breadth is supported by a tiered editorial structure made up of the Editor-in-Chief, Executive and Associate Editors, and an advisory Scientific Editorial Board formed by researchers from Brazilian and international institutions. This organisation ensures an appropriate distribution of editorial responsibilities and consistency between the proposed scope and the journal's capacity for scientific review.

The continuous flow of submissions is carefully managed by the editorial team, which carries out the initial screening (desk review), assigns specialised reviewers and follows the process through to the final decision, which rests with the Editor-in-Chief. The Scientific Editorial Board contributes to defining the academic guidelines and consolidating the editorial policy, advising the editorial team so that published works meet high standards of quality, relevance and research integrity.

In this way, Revista ESASP ensures that the thematic diversity of its scope is matched by consistent editorial governance, capable of sustaining scientific rigour, transparent editorial processes and the academic relevance of its publications.

Editorial Policy and Scientific Rigour

The journal uses Double-Blind Peer Review, with at least two external reviewers per manuscript, ensuring impartiality and academic quality. Its editorial workflow follows the transparency guidelines and best practices in publication ethics recommended by COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics). The journal publishes original articles (empirical or theoretical), academic essays, thematic dossiers, interviews and critical reviews, written in Portuguese, English or Spanish, and serves as a reference for legal researchers and practitioners, particularly those engaged in postgraduate studies (specialisation, master's and doctoral programmes).

Indexing and Visibility

Revista ESASP is included in major national and international directories and databases, such as Google Scholar, Miguilim, LatinREV and ROAD, reaffirming its commitment to broadening visibility and democratising scientific knowledge.
