The purpose and the thematic scope of the Acta Universitatis Lodziensis. Folia Iuridica Acta Universitatis Lodziensis. Folia Iuridica is a journal with a tradition of over 40 years. Folia Iuridica was created in 1980 as a publishing series for scientific journals of the University of Lodz, containing scientific articles in the field of law.
