Journal Description

Social & Legal Studies is a leading international journal, publishing progressive, interdisciplinary and critical approaches to socio-legal study. The journal was born out of a commitment to feminist, anti-colonial and socialist economic perspectives to the study of law. It offers an intellectual space where diverse traditions and critical approaches within legal study meet. We particularly welcome work in new fields of socio-legal study, as well as non-western scholarship

In addition to its review section the journal has developed an innovative occasional Debate & Dialogue section. This feature allows more direct and immediate engagement between authors.

The Board of Social & Legal Studies would like to remind readers of the journal that it is able to offer limited financial support to people organising a workshop or conference on a theme which would be of interest to readers of Social and Legal Studies. Proposals are considered in a competitive process at board meetings in February, June and October of each year. Colleagues wishing to apply for funds should contact Carl Stychin ([email protected]) with an outline of the conference theme and goals, the papers being given and details of the financial support requested. The Board is able to make contributions in the region of £500-1000.

"...it is clear that the editors have worked hard to achieve their aims... However, the value of this journal goes beyond achieving these goals. Its real value lies in the quality, level, and kind of material being published within it." Times Higher Education Supplement
