The Brooklyn Journal of Law and Policy is accepting article proposals for our second issue of Volume 35. We are a scholarly journal that focuses on progressive public policy issues and the promotion of social justice and equity, with an understanding of the underlying biases inherent in our legal system. Past issues have focused on education, disability, immigration, access to courts, the carceral system, and the legal theory.
We invite contributions from a wide array of writers and thinkers. As a core component of this mission, the Journal of Law and Policy seeks to include a variety of authorship, including but not limited to academics, practitioners, system-impacted individuals, organizers, and advocates from all areas of the law.
Suggested deadlines:
Journal of Law and Policy will review submissions on a rolling basis, and will begin editing submissions in January 2027.
Submissions:
Finished articles and proposals can be sent via Scholastica or emailed directly to the Journal’s Executive Article and Symposium Editors at jlpease@brooklaw.edu.
