Sortuz

Aims & Scope

Sortuz: Oñati Journal of Emergent Socio-Legal Studies (ISSN: 1988-0847; http://opo.iisj.net/index.php/sortuz/index) is an Open Access journal of the Oñati International Institute for the Sociology of Law (IISL), established by the Research Committee of Sociology of Law (RCSL) of the International Sociological Association (ISA), and the government of the Basque Country through the University of the Basque Country (UPV).

The IISL has become a major academic space not only for scholars specialized in relations between law and society, but also for researchers, scholars and students from other disciplines such as Political Science, Anthropology, History and Psychology, who are interested in the legal side of their specific traditions.

Scholars, both young and consolidated, across countries and disciplines find in Oñati a privileged space to work in their research interests.

This journal seeks to create a virtual, but real space, that strengthens the emerging community around the relations between law and society through the publication of quality research.

Indeed, the community of emergent scholars that year by year meet, discuss and grow in IISL facilities, especially on the IISL's International Master's Programme, may find in this journal an additional chance to publish their first research articles.
