The Law Journal for Social Justice (LJSJ) at Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law in Phoenix, Arizona, is currently accepting articles for publication in our Spring 2025, Volume XXI issue. 

LJSJ seeks articles for publication from a wide range of diverse voices that promote a deeper understanding of complex local, national, and international social justice issues. LJSJ especially welcomes scholarships that are timely, innovative, and contribute an important perspective on a pressing social justice issue.

In alignment with LJSJ's goals and values, we encourage legal practitioners, scholars, organizers, those with lived experience in social justice movements, and students to submit scholarships for publication. We especially encourage submissions from individuals from diverse and historically marginalized backgrounds. Cover letters highlighting an author’s unique perspective, background, and expertise are welcomed.
