This includes more than 200 books and 5,000 articles in open access. (Open access means that the work is free and publicly available.) Law is one of the topics covered by De Gruyter. Additionally, De Gruyter also partners with several major American university presses such as Harvard, Columbia, Cornell, NYU, and Duke to name a few.
