Aims & Scope

The mission of the Columbia Journal of Race and Law (CJRL) is to establish a dialogue on historic and contemporary notions of socio-political and legal challenges facing racial and ethnic minorities. We hope to embrace the continual importance of prioritizing this discourse as a means of better understanding contemporary issues, in addition to embarking on new paths for social progress. The Columbia Journal of Race and Law ( CJRL ) strives to promote scholarship that examines issues surrounding racial and ethnic justice. We envision this work as a part of a collective effort progressing towards “a more perfect union.” CJRL is the newest addition to Columbia Law School’s rich tradition of scholarly publications. The Journal is an exciting and unique opportunity to deepen the discourse on race and the law both within Columbia as well as the broader legal community.
