You can access the journal here.The journal, which has an international reach, will feature critical, interdisciplinary, theoretically engaged scholarship that extends feminist debates and analyses relating to law and justice (broadly conceived).

► An article on Latin America by Dr. Breny Mendoza, Associate Professor of Gender and Women's Studies at California State University, Northridge;
► Thoughts on current and future agendas for feminist legal studies, presented by, among others, IntLawGrrls alumna Doris Buss (left) (photo credit) (article here);► Videos of a roundtable discussion on the ‘past’, ‘present’ and ‘future’ of feminist legal scholarship.
All will be of interest to IntLawGrrls' readers.
