We are delighted to announce that we have two more distinguished colleagues to join the
Journal's editorial team as of this issue.
Professor Micklitz is one of the most highly regarded and influential scholars working in
the field of consumer law, and we are sure that his engagement with the Journal's planning
and production in future will be of immense benefit to all those involved in our work
including most of all ultimately our readers. Professor Micklitz is currently Professor of
Economic Law at the European University Institute in Florence, Italy (http://www.iue.it/
LAW/People/Faculty/CVs/Micklitz.shtml). There he teaches courses on private law, both in
a comparative context and with reference to the growing impact of the EC's internal market
project. His impressive expertise is amply demonstrated by reference to his publications,
which range over fields such as international and European economic law, comparative law,
and private law. Consumer lawyers know him best for his many major and sophisticated
publications in the field of EC consumer law in particular books, journal articles, and
reports, in English, in French, and in German.
Professor Micklitz's current research embraces concern for what he calls the visible
hand of European private law which engages questions of regulatory strategy and
instruments as well as, still more broadly, inquiry into the place of social justice in EC
law, an area of inquiry which has occupied Professor Micklitz profitably for some
considerable time. A German national, Professor Micklitz wrote his Habilitation thesis in
Bremen and he previously taught at the University of Bamberg, from which he is currently
on leave while holding his position at the EUI in Florence. But intellectually he is a true
European, and we are delighted to welcome him to the Journal's editorial team.
