Founded in 2009, the Sciences Po Law Review is a bilingual biannual journal affiliated with the Association of Jurists of Sciences Po (AJSP). Published by LexisNexis, the Review has offered thematic dossiers devoted to major legal issues. Entirely and independently designed by students of the Sciences Po Law School, the Review now has more than twenty issues.
The Review is written by academics, practitioners and students from Sciences Po as well as from other institutions. The members of the Journal select the contributors and organise the publication. Each issue is placed under the scientific direction of a prominent expert in the legal field.
In constant development, the Revue des Juristes de Sciences Po intends to become a reference among student publications. By progressively enhancing its visibility, it ultimately aims to shape the perspectives of legal professionals regarding the influence of law in our modern society.
Issue No. 26 Olympic and Paralympic Games 2024

The Sciences Po Law Review is pleased to announce the publication of its 26th biannual issue, devoted to the rich legal framework developed for the organization and staging of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris.
This special issue explores the many facets of sports law, reflecting on the legacy of the modern Olympic Movement, its founder, Pierre de Coubertin, and the enduring symbolism of the Olympic flame. The Games represent not only the pinnacle of human capabilities, but also an international project of considerable magnitude. As the centenary of the 1924 Games approaches, legal, political and diplomatic challenges have evolved, requiring a contemporary understanding of the regulations and institutions that govern these international events.
Under the scientific direction of Skander Karaa , this edition covers a wide range of topics, from ethical issues, such as anti-doping measures and the prevention of sports manipulation, to commercial issues, including ethical ticketing and the protection of Olympic properties. It also examines the rules for athlete participation and the controversial inclusion of Russian and Belarusian athletes.
