UC Law SF Journal on Gender & Justice

Since 1989, UC Law SF Journal on Gender & Justice (formerly the Hastings Women’s Law Journal and Hastings Journal on Gender and the Law), has provided a forum for voices outside the traditional scope of legal academic scholarship. We offer and maintain an inclusive space for feminism, race theory, queer theory, multiculturalism, animal rights, disability rights, language rights, international human rights, children’s rights, criminal defendants’ rights, victims' rights, criminal justice reform, among others. This perspective embraces difference and celebrates diversity. HJGL enhances the school’s academic diversity and contributes to scholarly thought by publishing articles and student notes that present a critical perspective of traditional legal discourse. We strongly believe that the law is a solution for the ills of the human condition, not merely a means of gaining and preserving privilege and position. To that end, HJGL is a progressive law journal that offers women and men the opportunity to work on provocative legal issues through a “traditional” journal experience.
