[We have the following announcement.]
The Editorial Board of the Socio-Legal Review is proud to announce the launch of its online companion/blog, the Socio-Legal Review Forum.
Since its inception in 2005, SLR has strived to further the discourse
on the intersection of law and society. Over the past decade, it has
provided both students and scholars a platform to engage with
socio-legal matters relevant in the South Asian context. Since it became
a biannual publication in 2012, it has produced a themed issue every
year, providing different perspectives on current issues such as legal
education, human rights, and the environment.
However,
the constraints of a journal format have frequently rendered us unable
to respond to current events with the immediacy they require.
Additionally, the legal blogosphere in India has a noticeable vacuum
when it comes to discussion on socio-legal issues, while more popular
outlets for think-pieces often lack a much-need legal perspective. To
counter this, we seek to provide a platform for informed debate on
contemporary developments across the globe. As a more informal venue, we
also hope to reach out to a wider audience than a journal is able to.
We
welcome submissions in the form of comments on recent legal
developments or book reviews engaging with recent literature, as well as
responses to pieces previously published in the Review or the Forum. To contribute a piece for the Forum, please write to us at sociolegalreviewforum@gmail
For more information and for subscribing to the mailing list, please refer to the Submission Guidelines.
