As part of an ongoing strategic relationship, Semple Piggot Rochez (SPR), the leading multimedia legal training specialists have joined forces with Mondaq, one of the world’s foremost legal and business information providers, to promote SPR’s new legal e-publishing imprint, e-lexia.net (http://www.e-lexia.net).
Catering primarily for the needs of undergraduate and post-graduate law students, E-lexia.net offers a small but select list of e-books covering all of the core subjects plus a comprehensive collection of highly focussed briefing papers originally published for practitioners as part of the CPD-direct professional training service. All e-lexia.net publications are competitively priced and may be purchased online by way of a secure e-commerce engine, either as a whole book or, chapter by chapter according to the customer’s own specific requirements.
In order build a broad, innovative and, above all, unique list of academic and student works e-lexia.net has developed an unusual forward publishing strategy designed to attract the very best and most innovative authors to the medium. All authors published through e-lexia.net are required to submit their work as fully formatted electronic manuscript, with tables and index if required, and in return are granted a royalty of 40% on sales of their work. A level of return no traditional legal publisher has ever offered.
Commenting on the partnership Michael Semple Piggot, CEO of SPR, said: “We believe that, as technological change takes hold, the future of academic publishing lies in the e-book. Therefore we have created e-lexia.net solely to publish and sell books in electronic form. The team at Mondaq share our enthusiasm for this exciting new medium and we are very pleased that they have joined with us to raise awareness of the site”.
