About the journal
International and interdisciplinary in scope, Law & Policy embraces varied research methodologies that interrogate law, governance, and public policy worldwide.
Law & Policy makes a vital contribution to the current dialogue on contemporary policy by publishing innovative, peer-reviewed articles on such critical topics as:
government and self-regulation
health
environment
family
gender
taxation and finance
legal decision-making
criminal justice
human rights
The following excerpt is taken from an essay presented at the Midwest Political Science Association, April, 2005 by Lynn Mather, Director, Baldy Center for Law and Social Policy. The essay was also published in the summer 2005 issue of Law and Courts Newsletter.
"A feature of the journal is its international scope and focus. Law & Policy has an excellent record of publishing research by non-U.S. based scholars; about 40 percent of the contributors in the last five years have come from outside the United States, with particularly strong representation of authors from Britain, Australia, and Canada. The journal also frequently features comparative analyses of legal policy issues. Examples include special issues of the journal devoted to regulation and enforcement in the U.S. and Japan; marriage and cohabitation policy in the North America and the U.K.; law, technology, and development; and lay participation in the legal system in Spain, Russia, and elsewhere. The journal is committed to a global perspective in its scholarship and this has led to a strong international readership."

EDITORIAL POLICY
Law & Policy publishes innovative, peer-reviewed articles that promote interdisciplinary dialogue about the governmental and regulatory activities of both state and non-state actors. Encompassing approaches that interrogate law and governance within a broad range of policy domains, the journal disseminates scholarship that is international and comparative, methodologically diverse, and critically challenging. Manuscripts are encouraged that provide creative theoretical overviews, as well as discussion of empirical research. Major considerations for publication include originality of insight into the legal process, relevance of policy issues addressed, and the use of appropriate methodology.
