Activities
LPE's purpose is to offer professional people, academics and scholars, libraries, business concerns, public and private bodies, timely information about the most significant publications available on legal questions, and to provide quick delivery at favourable conditions for the purchaser.
In 2009, LPE have written out the Franz Stein Memorial Award dedicated to the memory of bookseller and publisher Franz Stein (1944–2005). Being endowed with € 6,000, the award aims at European law students and is assigned to the best essay in a biennial competition. It postulates an original manuscript consisting of 8,000 words maximum. An independent jury chooses the winning essay which will be granted publication in one of LPE’s law journals. In 2009, the topic for the contending essays was "How Should the EU Ensure the Human Rights Conformity of Targeted Sanctions its Member States have to Implement Pursuant to UN Security Council Resolutions?". In 2009, Katherine Lim (UK) and Gerhard Holley (A) shared the award.
