The Canadian Journal of Elder Law is an academic publication published 1-2 times a year by the Canadian Centre for Elder Law. The CJEL is the only national peer-reviewed journal focussed on elder law issues. Its goal is to promote the scholarly exploration of issues of law and aging.
The CJEL publishes manuscripts on law reform, elder law issues, the intersection of law and policy, and other issues of key consideration for lawyers practising in this area of law. The scope of this journal makes it an excellent publication for lawyers practising in the areas of wills, estates, trusts, pensions and benefits, health law, family law, long-term care, guardianship, and inter-jurisdictional law.
Many of the materials published in the CJEL were preliminarily developed at various Canadian Conferences on Elder Law. The CJEL accepts scholarly peer-reviewed submissions from academics, as well as non-peer reviewed material for its "notes" section and an "international updates" section. Published articles and notes are of specific interest to scholars and practitioners in the areas of law, gerontology, social work, bio-ethics, medical ethics, and health or medicine.
