Law & Justice

The Christian Law Review

Law & Justice is a peer-reviewed journal published twice yearly in an era of change and in what is now called the plural society when nearly all legal concepts, customs and conventions are likely to be questioned. In this process, views are offered from Christians involved in the practice, study and teaching of, or writing about law. We are concerned with both the substance of the law and its procedures, and its philosophy considered as they are and as we think they ought to be. We do not exclude any area of law from our scrutiny because we believe that all legal developments should be examined from a Christian perspective.

Contributions to Law & Justice express the views of their authors and not necessarily the views of the Editorial Board, the Editor, or the Trustees.
