Taking stock after four years

Though it is sometimes hard for us to believe, four years have passed since the first issue of IDPL was published in early 2011. There have been many important developments in the world of data protection and privacy law during this time, and, we like to think, our journal has become an established part of the landscape. Though we usually devote these editorials to considering substantive legal developments, we would like to take this opportunity to reflect on the last four years, and what lies ahead, both for IDPL in particular and for privacy law scholarship in general.
