Dynamics of changes in the sector is attracting new researchers in the field of legal and economic sciences and the growing importance of this issue for the economic and social system increases the number of people interested in broadening their knowledge in this area. In such circumstances, we got best reasons for the establishment of a scientific journal, which will be following new trends and picking up new research challenges.

The mission of the journal is to provide a forum for exchange of knowledge and ideas within the scientific community and to popularize publications among the representatives of finance, business and politics. The main idea is to provide a bridge between science and practice that allows two-way flow of inspirations and ideas and together to solve the complex problems of the modern world of finance.

3. to provide readers of FLR access to the latest research results of the most outstanding representatives of law and economics sciences in the context of most important problems in the field of finance.

These objectives shall be pursued by means of:

1. publication of scientific articles conforming to the highest standards of publishing;
2. active promotion of articles published in the scientific , business and political community using all forms and channels of information, including the use of social network and the specialized abstract services and databases;
3. organization or co-organization of scientific symposiums and conferences;

FLR is distributed as a quarterly published and sold electronically. The journal is published in the open access formula in cooperation with one of the European market leader in electronic publishing market – publisher Scientific Journals Online (http://www.ejournals.eu).
