• Professorship, academic staff members, visiting lecturers of Georgian and foreign Universities, scientific-research institutions, along with the Ph.D. students, Master and Doctoral degree holders;

• Legal practitioners of the field;

• Authors other than those above who prepare a publication upon the request/invitation of the member of the Editorial Board.

The content of the paper submitted for publication must be consistent with the objectives of the Journal and editorial policy. The author has the right to independently determine the content of a scientific paper and the subject of research. The paper can be published anonymously without specifying the author's personal data. Within a reasonable time before publishing the paper in a Journal, the author has the right to withdraw the paper on the basis of a written application to the Editorial Board of the Journal and refuse to publish it. The author is responsible, in the case of dispute over copyright by a third party.

Consent for publication implies publishing the submitted paper without further changes or with a slight alteration made by the author per the recommendations of reviewers and editors.
