The Nebraska Journal on Advancing Justice (“the Journal”) is an online, peer-reviewed, and open-access law journal that aims to provide a forum for robust, creative, and disruptive scholarly engagement from academics, researchers, judges, lawyers, people who are justice-impacted, and community members on issues of advancing justice for all. The Journal is committed to promoting intellectual discourse, methodologically diverse knowledge production, and critical analysis of legal and policy issues that impact people and groups in Nebraska, nationally, and globally.
The Journal takes a broad and democratic view of law-related scholarship. Legal knowledge and expertise exist in myriad forms, whether through formal training or lived experience. The Journal invites and encourages submissions from scholars across the legal academy and adjacent disciplines, as well as non-traditional scholars, authors, and contributors engaged in diverse methods and traditions.
