SINCE 1966
Founded in 1966 as the official journal of the Law and Society Association, Law & Society Review is regarded by sociolegal scholars worldwide as a leading journal in the field. LSR is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes sociolegal scholarship on the relationship between society and the law, laws, legal institutions, and legal processes. Such scholarship includes theoretically motivated empirical articles (whether using qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods), purely theoretical essays (drawing on secondary literature) that contribute to important debates within the field of law and society, and reviews of books published by law and society scholars. Reflecting LSA’s community of interdisciplinary and international law and society scholars, LSR welcomes law and society-style studies of any jurisdiction informed by any of the multiple disciplines that constitute LSA membership.
Cambridge University Press currently publishes Law & Society Review (LSR) on behalf of the Law and Society Association in four issues per volume each year.
