The central mission of the Journal is to create a feminist legal publication that will help expand and
develop legal discourse beyond traditional boundaries. The Journal, which was founded in 1992, is dedicated
to providing a forum for exploring how gender issues (and related issues of race, class, sexual orientation, and
culture) impact law and society. The Journal seeks to compare, contrast, and combine theoretical and
practical perspectives on gender issues in order to provide a bridge between theory and practice. To achieve these
purposes, the Journal will publish the views of legal scholars, social scientists, practitioners, students
and others. The Journal is committed to the idea that different views, however passionately held, will all
receive discussion within the Journal. We welcome the submissions and responses of our readers.
Publication Policy
The Michigan Journal of Gender & Law accepts a variety of written works. We are interested in both traditional and non-traditional pieces that explore gender
issues in the law. Written pieces may include, but are not limited to, traditional law journal articles, book reviews, briefs or other legal documents,
speeches, critiques, poetry and fiction pieces.
The goal of the Michigan Journal of Gender & Law is to provide a forum for diverse voices. The Journal wishes to promote equal recognition of all authors
and encourage the publication of pieces based on diverse experiences and viewpoints. In keeping with this goal, the Journal is committed to publishing the
works of activists, students, practitioners, and others, as well as traditional academics. Published pieces are not distinguished on the basis of the author's
educational and/or occupational background.
