Since 1989, UC Law SF Journal on Gender and Justice (formerly Hastings Journal on Gender and the Law), previously known as Women’s Law Journal, has provided a forum for voices outside the traditional scope of legal academic scholarship. UCLJGJ publishes twice a year — giving its subscribers access to discussions on cutting-edge issues which many law journals either avoid or ignore. We are a progressive, diverse, open, and forward-looking collective of individuals working together to widen the scope of legal scholarship. To this end, UCLJGJ publishes works of literature, poems, book reviews, personal pieces, and, of course, legal analysis. We strongly believe that the law is a solution for the ills of the human condition, not merely a means of gaining and preserving privilege and position.
