To facilitate dialogue at a time when social movements continue to both engage with the law and find ways to circumvent legal frameworks, the Michigan Journal of Law & Society invites scholarships that explore the different intersections between law and social reform movements. We will not impose any spatial or time limits on submissions. Possible topics for contributions include: The Law and Society Association publishes the Law & Society Review (LSR) in four issues per volume per year.
LSR was founded in 1966 and is recognized by social law specialists worldwide as the leading journal in this field. LSR is a peer-reviewed publication for work that explores the relationship between society and the legal process. We publish a wide range of articles, including articles, theoretical developments, results of empirical studies, reviews and commentaries on the field or its research methods, and general remarks of interest to the research community. 2021 Clarivate Analytics Journal Citation Reports © For more information about the review, including submitting a manuscript: Social movements overlap with the law in important and complicated ways. The law can provide a vocabulary of resistance, facilitate the formation of collective identities, and provide a means of expanding rights. It can also limit and influence behaviour, stifle change and hinder social mobilization. Since our mission is to stimulate intellectual exchange, we encourage panels to be diverse in their composition. This means including participants from different countries, disciplines and intellectual traditions, as well as representing a wide range of ages, career levels, gender and race/ethnicity. Please contact the authors of individual articles if you would like to include them in a session you are training.
Professional development sessions (formerly known as public awareness sessions) feature panels that examine professional development and opportunities in the field of social law studies. If you have an idea for a professional development panel, please send the description and list of participants to the LSA Executive Board by February 15. The LSR is largely interdisciplinary, hosting works from all academic traditions dealing with cultural, economic, political, psychological or social aspects of law and legal systems. If you have any questions about our topic, please send mjls.execs@umich.edu an email. The default language for individual presentations is English. The program committee also welcomes the submission of full panels of four to six papers in English or Spanish. In an effort to provide a dynamic, innovative and interactive conference, the Program Committee seeks engaging and compelling material that represents a wide range of social law sciences. This includes both individual lectures and organized sessions.
Sessions can be submitted by individual organizers, informal groups of researchers, Collaborative Research Networks (CRNs) or International Research Collaborations (IRCs). Individual work may be submitted as part of an organized session or grouped with other contributions on related topics. Do you want to stay up to date on this journal?
