The journal was founded in 1927 by Ernst Rabel as the key German forum for fundamental research in the field of private, economic and procedural law in their international aspects. Areas of specific interest are thus comparative law and foreign law in comparative analysis, the conflict of laws, the law of international transactions and the unification of law, including the law of the European Union.

The journal sees itself as a forum of international academic discourse and intellectual exchange with foreign research. It publishes fundamental articles (in German, English and French) from all fields of work covered by the Institute. 
As of 2024 the Rabel Journal is available in Open Access.”
