About the Canadian Journal of Law and Society
|
The Canadian Journal of Law and Society (CJLS) is a bilingual, peer-reviewed periodical publishing innovative research in the broad field of law and society scholarship. Rooted in the distinctive Canadian Law and Society movement, CJLS features international scholarship concerning the intersection of law and sociology, cultural studies, literature, political science, criminology, history, human rights, gender studies and political economy.

The journal's editorial team is supported by an international editorial board comprised of leading scholars from a range of disciplines. The CJLS circulates widely in Canada and beyond. It is housed at Carleton University, Ottawa.
We invite original submissions in either French or English. In addition, the CJLS publishes thematic special issues. The journal is published three times a year with the support of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada and Carleton University's Office of the Vice-President, Research, the Dean of the Faculty of Public Affairs, and the Department of Law and Legal Studies. The CJLS is published by Cambridge University Press for the CLSA. In January 2023, the CJLS moved to a Gold Open Access publishing model, meaning that all issues of the journal are now published online and are open access through a non-exclusive Gold Open Access CC-BY license (i.e., all authors can publish their articles open access without paying any fees). With a CLSA membership, members have unlimited and free access to the journal’s archived issues that are otherwise behind a paywall.
