Nebraska Journal on Advancing Justice

Aims, Scope, & Mission

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. The theme of the Journal’s next volume is "The Land of the Free . . . ." This topic is broad enough to embrace both celebrations of the rights enumerated and implied in the U.S. Constitution and critiques of the denial of those rights. We are seeking submissions that fit anywhere along this spectrum and that grapple with the question of how rights are, or are not, expressed in the United States. NJAJ accepts submissions from members of all professions, non-professionals, people with lived experience, and students.

Topics fitting the Volume include:

• Civil Rights
  • Women's Rights
    • Including Reproductive Rights, Rights in Sports, etc.
  • LGBTQ+ Rights
  • Disability Rights
• Race and the Law
• Prison Reform
• Immigration Law
• Criminal Justice Reform

Note: This list is non-comprehensive.

Mission Statement

The Nebraska Journal on Advancing Justice is an online, peer-reviewed, and open-access law journal that aims to provide a forum for robust and creative 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.
