The Columbia Journal of Gender and Law (JGL) is an interdisciplinary journal designed to address the interplay between gender and sexuality law, and its effects at the personal, community, national, and international levels. The articles we publish reflect an expansive view of gender and sexuality law-embracing issues related to feminism and gender and sexuality studies that cut across all races, ethnicities, classes, sexual orientations, gender identities, and cultures. JGL also publishes articles that merge and blend disciplines-revealing the connections between law and philosophy, psychology, history, religion, political science, literature, and sociology. JGL operates by consensus and welcomes all law students at Columbia Law School to apply, regardless of status as a first-year law student, JSD student, or LLM student. All editors and staff members are involved in JGL's decision-making process with respect to selection and editing of articles. Members work in teams and follow articles from acceptance to publication. In fostering dialogue, debate, and awareness about gender-related issues, our goal is to advance feminist scholarship and gender and sexuality studies at Columbia Law School. We strive to break through traditional legal and academic confines, and serve as both a community and an outlet for interested students, faculty members, and practitioners. JGL publishes issues in both the fall and spring semesters. The size of our issues depends upon the number of articles our members vote to accept. We traditionally publish two issues per volume. The editors and staff members of JGL are grateful for your support. We look forward to your continued readership and welcome your contributions and responses.
