Law, Culture and the Humanities

Aims & Scope

Our mission is to publish high quality, peer reviewed work at the intersection of scholarship on law, culture, and the humanities.

All commentaries, articles and review essays are peer reviewed.

We provide a publishing vehicle for scholars engaged in interdisciplinary, humanistically oriented legal scholarship.

We publish a wide range of scholarship in legal history, legal theory and jurisprudence, law and cultural studies, law and literature, and legal hermeneutics.

We encourage reflection on a broad range of text and media that will contribute to dialogue across and among fields about such issues as interpretation, identities and values, authority, obligation, speech, justice and power.
