American University Journal of Gender, Social Policy & the Law

Last updated

History

The journal was established in 1992 at the Washington College of Law as the American University Journal of Gender & the Law. The name was changed in 1998 to expand the range of topics covered by the journal. In 2006, the journal was one of the top subject-specific law reviews in the "2006 ExpressO Law Review Submission Guide."

On October 8, 2019, the American Bar Association Commission on Disability Rights, American University Washington College of Law, and the journal cosponsored a symposium for disabled law students and recent graduates. [1] In 2019, the Washington & Lee University School of Law ranked the journal as the most cited legal periodical in the United States and selected non-U.S. regions in the topical area of gender, social policy and the law. It was also ranked #1 in Race & Minority issues ad #5 for Gender issues in 2019.[ citation needed ]

In 2020, the journal's Digital Media & Alumni Outreach Editor, Teagan Sebba, refused to resign from her position after it arose that she had posted multiple racist social media posts prior to her time at the law school, despite being asked to resign by other editorial board members. [2] [3]
