Nebraska Journal on Advancing Justice

Nebraska Journal on Advancing Justice

Aims & Scope

The Nebraska Journal on Advancing Justice ("NJAJ") aims to discuss essential issues from not only legal perspectives but also the perspectives of members of the communities that are impacted by these issues. NJAJ opens a call for submissions for its third volume, “When Justice Gets Lost (and Found).” Volume 3 will probe the (often unnoticed) ways that law and legal studies influence and are influenced by the world around them. This theme invites Authors to examine the intersection between legal and non-legal aspects of broader struggles for justice. Some appropriate areas of analysis might include (but are not limited to):

  • How law impacts other fields in unnoticed or underexamined ways.
  • Ways that other fields might be able to leverage law or legal studies.
  • Limitations on legal strategies for particular campaigns for justice.

While this non-exhaustive list provides some appropriate themes, any works that explore the ways justice is either hindered or served in contexts and by forces not traditionally studied in legal academia are eligible for submission.

Authors interested in submitting are encouraged to review NJAJ’s mission statement and policies regarding submissions to determine if their work is a good fit for submission.

NJAJ strongly prefers submissions through Digital Commons. You will be required to make a Digital Commons account to submit your piece.

NJAJ remains committed to its goal of fostering diverse knowledge production. To that end, the Journal will consider submissions from members of all professions, non-professionals, people with lived experience, and students. Non-traditional academic work includes expressive writing, visual art, photography, and other media that can be published online. Please submit non-traditional academic work or questions to: unl.njaj.editor@nebraska.edu.

We can accept submissions by mail from anyone for whom access to Digital Commons is a hardship. Those submissions may be mailed to:
