The Michigan Journal of Law & Society (MJLS) is the nation’s first law school journal to focus on the intersections of law, history, and the social sciences. MJLS is also the nation’s first law school journal to incorporate law students, PhD students, and a faculty editorial board into its reviewing and editorial processes. MJLS’ central goal is to imbue legal and legal-adjacent scholarship with the tools of the social sciences and humanities in order to enrich our understanding of the law and the lawmaking process. MJLS seeks to combine the best elements of peer-reviewed journals with the best elements of student-run law journals with the hope of speeding up the process by which cutting-edge scholarship can enter scholarly debates and inform the public consciousness. MJLS publishes scholarly articles, comments, essays, and online blog posts.
