Casa Editrice Jovene

Casa Editrice Jovene (formally Casa Editrice Dott. Eugenio Jovene s.r.l.) is an Italian academic publishing house based in Naples, named after its founder Eugenio Jovene. It is one of the country's long-established specialist publishers in the field of law, producing monographs, collected volumes, conference proceedings and scholarly journals for universities, the judiciary and the legal profession. The catalogue is dominated by legal scholarship. Its list spans Roman law and ancient legal history, constitutional and parliamentary studies, private law, criminal law, ecclesiastical law, legal philosophy, labour law and the law of new technologies. Recurring series and journals include Il Filangieri, Rassegna Parlamentare, Rivista Critica del Diritto Privato, Percorsi Costituzionali, IVRA – Rivista internazionale di diritto romano e antico, Rivista Giuridica delle Forze Armate e di Polizia, and the online titles Istituzioni Diritto Economia On Line and Studi Economico-Giuridici On Line. The house also publishes collected essays in honour of scholars, such as Scritti in onore di Letizia Vacca, and themed volumes on contemporary issues such as digital and environmental transition. Jovene operates as a private limited company (s.r.l.) and sells directly through its own website, where titles are offered in print, as e-books, and in combined print-plus-e-book packages. Some volumes and journals are made available in open access, reflecting the academic and publicly funded character of much of its output. Prices range from free open-access journals to high-priced multi-author commemorative volumes. The publisher's identity is closely tied to Italian legal academia, particularly the Roman-law tradition associated with Naples. Its output is aimed at law faculties, research centres, courts and practising lawyers rather than the general trade market. The brand is therefore best understood as a specialist scholarly imprint rather than a mass-market publisher.

Casa Editrice Jovene takes its name from Eugenio Jovene, the founder whose name appears in the company's formal legal title, Casa Editrice Dott. Eugenio Jovene s.r.l. The house is based in Naples and has long been associated with the city's legal academic milieu, particularly the study of Roman law and legal history for which Neapolitan scholarship is well known. Over the decades the publisher built a catalogue centred on legal scholarship: monographs, multi-author volumes, conference proceedings and academic journals. Its list covers Roman law and ancient legal history, constitutional and parliamentary studies, private law, criminal law, ecclesiastical law, legal philosophy, labour law and, more recently, the legal dimensions of digital and environmental transition. The house is also known for commemorative and celebratory volumes in honour of individual scholars, a common genre in Italian legal academia. Among the recurring titles that define the imprint are Il Filangieri, Rassegna Parlamentare, Rivista Critica del Diritto Privato, Percorsi Costituzionali, IVRA – Rivista internazionale di diritto romano e antico, and the Rivista Giuridica delle Forze Armate e di Polizia. The publisher has also developed online journals such as Istituzioni Diritto Economia On Line and Studi Economico-Giuridici On Line, and it makes selected volumes available in open access, adapting to the changing economics of academic publishing. In the 2020s the catalogue reflects contemporary legal debates, with titles on European integration in the global order, digital and environmental transition, sustainability and technology, food law and criminal law, and the future of labour in the digital era. The company continues to operate as a private limited company selling directly to readers through its website, offering print, e-book and combined formats. Its enduring identity remains that of a specialist Italian legal publisher rather than a general trade house.
