The central mission of the Michigan Journal of Gender & Law 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 Journal 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 Journal 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.
