The Columbia Journal of Race and Law (CJRL) is now accepting submissions of articles, essays and other original works for possible publication in the Fall 2010 edition of the Journal.
CJRL is the newest addition to Columbia Law School’s scholarly journals and will begin publication in the 2010-2011 academic year. Our mission is to establish a dialogue on historic and contemporary notions of socio-political and legal challenges facing racial and ethnic minorities. We formerly existed as the National Black Law Journal (NBLJ), a national journal based at Columbia for the past decade which is transitioning to another institution at the end of this academic year. As an independent journal, CJRL provides us with an exciting opportunity to deepen the discourse on race and the law both within Columbia and the broader legal community.
The Journal welcomes the submission of original manuscripts, with both text and footnotes typed and double-spaced. Along with the piece, please submit a resume and a brief description of how your work advances legal scholarship and is distinct from other articles that pertain to similar issues. All manuscript correspondence should be submitted through the Espresso Submissions Service or via email to cjrl@law.columbia.edu.
CJRL seeks to forge strong institutional and individual relationships by attentively developing each publication and by providing a distinct platform for the scholarship published in the Journal. To that end, we welcome opportunities to collaborate on symposia and other events, in addition to article submissions.
