The Foundation for Publications Issued by the Faculty of Law at Stockholm University

The Foundation for Publications Issued by the Faculty of Law at Stockholm University has historically supported the publication of legal literature through two series: The Legal Science Library and Publications Issued by the Faculty of Law. The foundation operates as a business entity but, unlike commercial publishers on the market, it is not driven by profit. Revenues from e-book sales finance the production of new titles and are distributed to the authors in the form of royalties.
By reducing the number of intermediaries, the foundation is able to keep prices low for new publications—particularly for e-books used as course literature. Since the end of 2023, the foundation has focused its efforts on publishing open access e-books (as well as print-on-demand) in collaboration with Stockholm University Press, within the framework of its own series: Stockholm Law Series. All new publishing projects are carried out under that name and in accordance with Stockholm University Press’s publishing guidelines.
