About the Journal
The South Asian Journal of Law, Policy, and Social Research (SAJLPSR) is a double-blind peer-reviewed journal that aims to create an interdisciplinary research platform that will foster prospective solutions to legal and social issues in South Asian countries. The journal publishes original research works bi-annually, with each case focusing on a central theme that promotes legal and social science research.
Our first issue was on the theme ‘Gender-Based Violence in South Asia’ and was published in March 2020 in partnership with the Susan B. Anthony Center, University of Rochester. SAJLPSR appeared in the ‘Top Ten List’ of the SSRN Ranking of Journals twenty-five times across several categories between 2020-22. Previously, we engaged with notable professionals like Catherine Cerulli (Practicing Attorney and Director, Susan B. Anthony Center), Margaret L. Phillips
(Director of the Paralegal Studies program, Daemen College in Buffalo, New York), and Christopher D. Thomas (Trial Lawyer, Nixon Peabody LLP). You may find the journal at this link.
Future special edition issues will follow focusing on public health issues such as child abuse, and environmental law among others to help policy be created from evidence-based social science bringing together interdisciplinary researchers and policymakers through colloquia and shared spaces to engage in robust dialogue.
