Bocconi School of Law Student-Edited Papers is a student-edited working paper series which publishes legal scholarly works. It is issued by a student group at Bocconi University School of Law, under the supervision of several faculty advisors.

Format
The notability of this project is tied to its format as a working paper series, of which it constitutes the first example in the field of student-run legal publications. This format has been argued to be more in tune with the academic and editorial background of European legal scholarly publishing, which is largely dominated by peer-reviewed journals. In this perspective, the idea behind this working paper series is to create an additional level of feedback prior to final publication in a journal run by academics, thereby allowing synergies with existing journals and facilitating the integration of student-run publications in the European academic and editorial context.

History
Bocconi School of Law Student-Edited Papers was initially created in march 2008 by founding editor Luigi Russi, under the name Italian Legal Scholarship Unbound Working Paper Series. The name was later changed when the publication's affiliation with Bocconi University School of Law became official. The series's first Editor-in-Chief under its present name was Matteo Mattioni, whereas the recently appointed Anna Salvo (2009) was the first woman. Among the more renowned scholars to have published with Bocconi School of Law Student-Edited Papers are Jagdeep Bhandari, Giovanni Iudica and Ugo Mattei. Bocconi School of Law Student-Edited Papers has also released, under a Creative Commons license, a citation manual for Italian legal sources, authored by a former editor.
