Scope

Law & Social Inquiry (LSI) is a multidisciplinary quarterly that publishes original research articles and wide-ranging review essays that contribute to the understanding of sociolegal processes. Law & Social Inquiry’s combination of empirical and theoretical research with critique and appraisal of the sociolegal field make the journal an indispensable source for the latest research and commentary. Law & Social Inquiry’s ambit spans law and sociology, economics, political science, social psychology, history, philosophy and other social science and humanities disciplines. The journal publishes a remarkable range of scholarship on specific topics in law and society, including but not limited to law, legal institutions, the legal profession, and legal processes.
