Columbia Journal of Gender and Law
Christine Lin's Company Details
"A spacious home, with rooms enough to accommodate all who have the imagination and determination to work for the full realization of human potential."The Columbia Journal of Gender and Law is edited and published entirely by students at the Columbia University School of Law. The Journal publishes interdisciplinary works rooted in feminist inquiry with the aim of promoting dialogue, debate, and awareness that will broaden the very concept of feminism as one that critically engages multiple and varied forms of social hierarchy and power differentials and their relation to the law.To quote Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's introduction from our first issue, the Columbia Journal of Gender and Law seeks to "portray today's feminist movement, not as unitary, rigid or doctrinaire, but as a spacious home, with rooms enough to accommodate all who have the imagination and determination to work for the full realization of human potential."We feature the writing of noted scholars in feminist jurisprudence, including judges, law professors, and law students. Furthermore, as a law journal with an interdisciplinary focus, we also welcome articles about law from other academic disciplines. Recent Columbia Journal of Gender and Law articles have examined the connections between gender, law, and various other academic fields varying from psychology to literature.We also publish a considerable amount of scholarship on international gender issues. Journal articles have addressed gender and law in nations ranging from Ghana to Japan.The Journal operates by consensus and is organized in a manner that supports internal debate and discussion. Journal membership comprises students at Columbia University School of Law. Every Journal member is encouraged to contribute their views, and all Journal members participate in the decision-making process regarding the selection and editing of articles. Members work in teams and follow one article in each issue from acceptance to publication.
