Since 1989, JGJ, formerly the Hastings Women’s Law Journal, 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. Ranked No. 09 in the United States among Gender, Women, and Sexuality Law Journals, JGJ enhances the UC Law SF'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, JGJ is a progressive law journal that offers women and men the opportunity to work on provocative legal issues through a “traditional” journal experience.

*UC Law SF is home to multiple student organizations, journals, and teams and they make up the lifeblood of student life on campus. Through their events, mentorship programs, and community engagement, our student organizations help students grow their professional networks and connections, develop skills, explore opportunities on and off campus, and build lifelong friendships.*
