Usc Journal Of Law And Society
Each year, the JLS identifies a range of issues affecting Detroit and other parts of the world, and then publishes articles that address those issues within their social context. By way of research and scholarship, the JLS aims to connect Detroit to broader national and international discourse, as well as serve as an educational and practical tool for its audience. A leading peer-reviewed journal for research at the intersection of law, health policy, ethics, and medicine.
Where the article cites several works by the same author from the same year, these must be distinguished using the letters ‘a’, ‘b’, etc. placed following the year of publication. Where there are three or more authors, only the first-named author should be mentioned in the text, followed by the phrase ‘et al.’. This page should state the title of the paper but make no mention of the name or contact details of the author. Both American English and British English are acceptable, but please ensure that your usage is consistent throughout the text. This means, as a rough guideline, that papers should not exceed 9,000 words . Contributions will be subject to a double blind peer review process, where necessary more than once, involving at least two external referees before the editors take a decision on publication.

The Ramapo Journal of Law and Society is an interdisciplinary, online journal devoted to the publication of undergraduate scholarship in Law and Society. The Journal’s mission is to provide a platform to undergraduate students from across disciplines to engage with socio-legal issues in the context of the liberal arts. We understand law and society broadly to include discussions of law in society not just as rigid bodies of rules but as dynamic institutions shaped by historical forces and social imperatives.
The Journal is interdisciplinary in scope, calling for a variety of perspectives and methods. MJLSpublishes scholarly articles, comments, essays, and online blog posts.MJLSis soliciting content for our first issue.

This Essay argues that trusts and estates (“T&E”) should prioritize intergenerational economic mobility—the ability of children to move beyond the economic station of their parents—above all other goals. The field’s traditional emphasis on testamentary freedom fosters the stickiness of inequality.
The USC Journal of Law and Society welcomed Madeline Goossen as the Editor-in-Chief for the Spring 2018 issue. This edition highlighted papers written by students from universities across the country and dealt with topics like human rights in rural Pakistan, the constitutionality of sex offender registrations, and future of content filtering by governments in regards to freedom of expression. Professor Renteln studies international law, human rights, comparative legal systems, Constitutional law and legal and political theory. An expert on cultural rights, including the use of the “cultural defense” in the legal system, Professor Renteln has lectured to judicial organizations and law enforcement groups on this subject.
Led by Editor-in-Chief Steve K. Choi, the Spring 2005 edition of the Journal published works by two authors, focused on treatment programs for adolescents in correctional and detention facilities and retroactivity of the FSIA in Austria v. Altmann. MJLScombines the best elements of peer-reviewed journals and student-run journals to speed up the process by which cutting-edge scholarship can enter scholarly debates and inform the public consciousness. The words justice and judge have similar meanings because they have a common ancestry. They are derived from the same Latin term, jus, which is defined in dictionaries as “right” and “law.” However, those definitions of jus are so broad that they obscure the details of what the term meant when it formed the words that eventually became justice and judge. The etymology of jus reveals the kind of right and law it signified was related to the concepts of restriction and obligation.
