CFP: Asian American Law Journal

The Asian American Law Journal (formerly the Asian Law Journal) at the University of California – Berkeley, School of Law (Boalt Hall) is pleased to invite article and essay submissions for our 15th volume.

As one of only two Asian Pacific American law journals in the nation, we are committed to providing a forum for scholars, practitioners, and students to address legal and policy issues relevant to the APA community. We are dedicated to continuing our pursuit of excellent, applicable scholarship to foster awareness and increase dialogue both within and beyond the legal community. Our recent name change reaffirms our commitment to addressing issues of concern for Asians in the Americas, and we would request that you send articles on international issues only insofar as such issues affect APA communities in the Americas.

Although not limited to the following topics, we are particularly looking for pieces that address:
1. The connections between the Third World Liberation Front strikes at SF State and Berkeley and present-day struggles
2. Legal issues concerning Southeast Asian Americans and South Asian Americans
3. Pacific Islander legal issues
4. Immigration reform
5. Models of social change
6. Affirmative action as it affects APAs

All other articles and essays on APA legal and policy issues are also welcome!

If you are interested in contributing to the 15th volume of AALJ or the special affirmative action issue, please send us your submission(s) early. Articles will be reviewed and accepted on a rolling basis until Saturday, September 1, 2007. Final publication is scheduled for May 2008.

Articles or essays submitted should meet the following requirements:
1. The piece must be sent in Microsoft Word format, as an e-mail attachment, to the following address: aalj.submissions@gmail.com
2. Footnotes must be within the text (i.e. incorporated at the end of each page).
3. Footnotes should conform to The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation (18th ed.).
4. Please include an abstract and your resume/CV along with your submission.
