ABOUT US

The University of Pennsylvania Journal of Law & Social Change (JLASC) is proud to begin our second year as an official journal of Penn Law after 14 years of independent scholarship. We are a progressive, student-run journal and seminar that uses an interdisciplinary scholarly approach to challenge social injustice. JLASC seeks to maintain our differences from typical law journals as we grow in our new official status. All journal members have input in journal decision-making, and new Associate Editors will be able to direct the path of the journal through both article selection and other leadership opportunities.

This coming year, JLASC members will publish two issues of the journal. Our broad mission attracts articles from a diverse range of legal scholars around the country, and it provides us with flexibility in choosing articles and shaping each individual journal issue. JLASC members each play an integral role in article review, selection, and the editing process.

In addition, JLASC conducts an informal seminar over the course of the year, fueled by the individual interests of each journal member. Each 3L member is responsible for leading one ten to fifteen-minute seminar session during the year, on a topic of his or her choosing, and all members are expected to actively participate in the seminars of their classmates.

JLASC members receive three academic credits for their work over the year. JLASC does not require a student comment but does make space available for student work in each volume.
