Changing the Conversation One Idea at a Time
The Dalhousie Law Journal is one of North America’s few faculty-run publications with an editorial board composed exclusively of full-time professors at the Schulich School of Law. The Journal’s vision is to be a platform for the ideas and voices of legal academics, practitioners, and students.
The Dalhousie Law Journal (DLJ) was established in 1973 by then Dalhousie Law School Dean Ronald St John Macdonald (1928-2006). It is one of North America’s few faculty-run publications with an editorial board composed exclusively of full-time professors at the Schulich School of Law.
The DLJ’s aim is to enhance dialogue, analysis, and policy reform across a variety of legal areas through the publication and dissemination of new knowledge. We publish work on all legal topics, but the DLJ is commonly a venue for evidence-informed, policy-relevant contributions.
We especially encourage submissions from emerging scholars and welcome submissions in English and French.
