Welcome to euNOMIKA Legal Journal Editorial Board
At the heart of euNOMIKA Legal Journal is a single, dedicated editorial board of distinguished legal scholars, practitioners, and experts. Our editorial board administers the highest academic integrity, peer-review, and editorial standards for all articles published by our journal. As the legal journal for the Center for Criminological, Legal, and Sociological Studies (CSC), we bring you our editorial team’s vast experiences in bridging U.S. law, criminology, sociology, psychiatry, intelligence, and the law of cultural protection for a uniquely authoritative forum of research, commentary, and analysis.
Journal’s Mission and Editorial Values
The euNOMIKA Editorial Board is united by a common goal: to promote quality legal and scientific scholarship, engage in open-access research, and elevate the quality of American legal scholarship. Our editorial board oversees a comprehensive double blind peer-review process, maintains editorial independence, and ensures that every article published makes a constructive and insightful contribution on current issues in law, criminology, and social science. We value impartiality, ethical research, and the development of a true multidisciplinary perspective. It is these values that inform our editorial philosophy and distinguish our journal.
Editorial Leadership Team
At the helm of the journal is Director and leading journalist, Domenico Martinelli, an expert in the practical impact of new technologies on legal security. As Journalism Area Director at CSC, Mr. Martinelli is responsible for shaping the long-term vision of the journal, maintaining a balance between scholarly rigor and practicality in each issue. He oversees the editorial policy and tactics enforced by a team of associate editors and section leads. In addition, he represents euNOMIKA Legal Journal in academic and public fora.
Research Direction and Peer Review Process
Dr. Rita Giorgi, Scientific Director, is an expert in legal methodology, criminology, and interdisciplinary research. Dr. Giorgi is responsible for managing the peer-review process and ensuring each article meets high standards of scientific integrity, originality, and ethics. Dr. Giorgi manages a panel of peer reviewers-U.S.-based professors, attorneys, and subject-matter experts-who conduct scientific, objective peer reviews. This rigorous process ensures that all contributions to euNOMIKA Legal Journal are authoritative and influential in the field of law.
Expertise in Criminology and Sociology of Law
Director of the Criminology Area at CSC, Professor Claudio Mariani coordinates the journal’s criminology and socio-legal initiatives. Prof. Mariani has decades of experience in U.S. criminal justice, legal sociology, and forensic sciences. He chooses and organizes articles in criminal law, penology, victimology, and socio-legal studies. He is particularly active designing special columns such as “Eunomia Pills,” short and expert messages on hot topics concerning modern and future U.S. crime and justice trends. Under his leadership, Eunomia is firmly at the forefront of criminological and sociological research.

Inclusion, Inclusivity, Outreach and Equity
euNOMIKA Legal Journal’s board of editors has intentionally included diversity and inclusion as part of our journal’s ‘mission critical’ roadmap. In particular, we welcome contributions from underrepresented constituencies and, more broadly, from as many perspectives as possible that cover all aspects of U.S. society. To this end, members of the editorial board are actively involved in public outreach and education efforts-including legal workshops, webinars, and media commentary-focused on current issues like justice reform and advocacy for cultural heritage protection. Our editorial team continues to pursue expanding access and engagement in the legal community.
Plans for Collaboration and Contributions
We welcome U.S.-based legal academics, practitioners, and experts on issues of public and private law (including jurisprudence) to submit to euNOMIKA Legal Journal. The Board welcomes submissions for full-length articles, legal commentaries, and short “Eunomia Pill” notes. Authors interested in submitting full-length articles should send an abstract (see General Essay Guidelines) together with a CV. Editors review submissions to determine originality, relevance, and scholarly value (if any). We seek to publish the best legal scholarship on issues international in scope for an audience of academics and practitioners beyond North America. All articles should be submitted solely to euNOMIKA. Our open-access publishing model ensures indexing across appropriate collections, while guaranteeing the widest readership possible.
