JLASC espouses an interdisciplinary scholarly approach dedicated to challenging social injustice.

This broad mission attracts articles from a diverse range of legal scholars, practitioners and activists around the country.

Among the six official journals of Penn Law, JLASC is unique both in its mission and its democratic article selection process.

All journal members participate in decision-making by collectively reviewing, selecting and editing each piece of scholarship.

Journal members read article submissions as part of a weekly, student-run seminar.
