Call for Papers Deadline: Socio-Legal Review

November 15, 2011

The editors of the Socio-Legal Review invite submissions by students and scholars. The deadline for submission for volume 8 (2012) is Nov. 15, 2011.

The Journal subscribes to an expansive view on the interpretation of “law and society” thereby keeping its basic criteria for contributions simply that of high academic merit, as long as there is a perceivable link. This would include not just writing about the role played by law in social change, or the role played by social dynamics in the formulation and implementation of law, but also writing that simply takes cognizance of legal institutions/ institutions of governance/ administration, power structures in social commentary and so on. Through this effort, the journal also hopes to fill the lacunae relating to academic debate on socio-legal matters among law students.

The editors seek Articles (up to 8000 words), Short Articles (up to 5000 words), and Notes from the Field (shorter pieces designed to provide a glimpse into a new legal strategy, political initiative or advocacy technique applied in the field, a current problem or obstacle faced in, legal reform or development work, or a new issue that has not yet received much attention and needs to be brought to light) (up to 3000 words). See Author Guidelines on the journal’s website. mw
