The Berkeley Journal
of Gender, Law & Justice, a continuation of Berkeley Women's Law
Journal, was founded in 1984 by a group of students at the University of California, Berkeley School of Law who came
together with a vision of "preserving our voices of diversity
and maintaining our commitment to social change within the often-stifling
confines of a law school environment."
Now in its twenty-forth year of publication, BGLJ is guided by
an editorial policy that distinguishes us from other law reviews and
feminist journals. Our mandate is to publish research, analysis, and
commentary that address the lives and struggles of underrepresented
women. We believe that excellence in feminist legal scholarship
requires critical examination of the intersection of gender with one
or more other axes of subordination, including, but not limited
to, race, class, sexual orientation, and disability.
Because conditions
of inequality are continually changing, our mandate is also continually
evolving. Pieces may come
within the mandate because of their subject matter or because of their
analytical attention to differences in social location among women.
BGLJ currently publishes
two issues annually, one in the fall and one in the spring. Past articles are available on Westlaw
and Lexis. BGLJ should be cited as BERKELEY
WOMEN'S L.J. for Vol. 1-19 and BERKELEY
J.
GENDER
L.
& JUST.
for Vol. 20 and all
subsequent issues.
