Since
1989, the Hastings Women's Law Journal has provided a forum
for voices outside the traditional scope of legal academic
scholarship. We offer and maintain an inclusive space
for feminism, race theory, multiculturalism, animal rights,
disability rights, language rights, international human
rights, criminal defendants' rights and prisoners' rights,
among others. HWLJ takes the road less traveled in
regard to the law. This perspective embraces
difference and celebrates diversity.
Staffed
entirely by students and volunteers, HWLJ publishes twice a
year - giving its subscribers access to discussions on
cutting edge issues which many law journals either avoid or
ignore. We are a progressive, diverse, open, and
forward-looking collective of individuals working together
to widen the scope of legal scholarship. To this end,
HWLJ publishes works of literature, poems, book reviews,
personal pieces, and, of course, legal analysis. We
strongly believe that the law is a solution for the ills of
the human condition, not merely a means of gaining and
preserving privilege and position.
