The Yale Journal of Law and Feminism is committed to publishing legal scholarship on gender and sexuality, race, ethnicity, ability, class, and the law, with a focus on how the law structures, affects, or ignores the experiences of women and other oppressed people. As we advance feminist principles for our readers, we practice those principles ourselves. All members contribute to our journal’s management, making major decisions through modified consensus.
Submissions should be typed and double spaced. The Yale Journal of Law and Feminism follows The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation (20th ed.) for typefaces and footnotes. We strongly encourage and prefer electronic submissions, which you can submit through this platform (preferred), or email to us at lawandfeminism@yale.edu as an attachment (preferably in .doc format).
The Journal does not have strict word limits, but authors should strive to submit articles of approximately 18,000-25,000 words, and essays of roughly 5,000-18,000 words. The Journal will consider experimental and nontraditional pieces as well. All pieces should include a short abstract.
