ISSN = The "Women's Rights Law Reporter" is a journal of legal scholarship published by an independent student group at Rutgers School of Law—Newark. The Journal's mission is to provide a forum for exploring law and public policy relating to women’s rights and gender.
History and focus
The journal was founded in 1970 in New York City, by now-Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, other legal scholars, and prominent feminist activists. On its founding advisory board were Margot Champagne, Mary Eastwood, Riane Eisler, Ann Freedman, Jo Ann Evans Gardner, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Janice Goodman, Renee Hanover, Arthur Kinoy, Pauli Murray, Eleanor Holmes Norton, Bernice Handler, Diane B. Schulder, Faith A. Seidenberg, and Nancy Stearns. The Journal is the fist legal periodical in the United States to focus exclusively on the field of women’s rights law.
According to the Journal's mission statement, gender bias did not originate in the legal system. Nevertheless, the system reflects and perpetuates the inequitable conditions and attitudes prevalent in society.
In 1974, the journal became affiliated with Rutgers School of Law—Newark. Over the years, the Journal expanded to cover gender issues as well.
Current
The Journal is published quarterly. The Editors-in-Chief for 2008-09 are Kacy Wiggum and Brian Calandra.
