DJGLP

General

The Duke Journal of Gender Law & Policy[1] (DJGLP) is an interdisciplinary publication of the Duke University School of Law, publishing on topics relating to gender, sexuality, race, or class in the context of law and public policy. DJGLP is the preeminent publication for its subject matter in the world.

Mission

DJGLP's mission is to foster debate, publish work largely overlooked by other law reviews, and encourage scholarship outside the bounds of conventional law school curricula. In so doing, DJGLP takes an expansive view of law, engaging other disciplines including literature, sociology, anthropology, psychology, politics, and critical theory. DJGLP explores not only what the law was and is, but what the law could and should be.

Issues

Now published twice yearly, issues of DJGLP are usually centered on a selected topic. In past years the DJGLP has published outstanding scholarship such wide ranging topics as Gender and Race in Adoption, HIV Law and Policy, Gender and Sports, Gender Issues in Divorce, and Queer Theory. In January 2007, DJGLP published Makeup, Identity Performance & Discrimination, the largest issue ever published by any journal at Duke Law School. In May 2007, DJGLP will publish a groundbreaking issue entitled Gender, Sexuality & the Military.

Staff

DJGLP is comprised of thirty-six student editors. Editors are selected for membership based on performance in the 1L Casenote Competition and the 2L Work-on/Note-on Program. DJGLP works closely with faculty advisor Professor Catherine Fisk who, in addition to providing general guidance, advises the journal in topic and author selection.
