BLJLP Mandate

To provide an open forum for the analysis of legal issues affecting the Latine community.

We appreciate the diversity of the Latine community in the United States in terms of national origin, socio-economic status, political viewpoint, sexual orientation and professional pursuits. Our publication and symposia provide opportunities for the expression of such diversity and for discourse among divergent views.

To publish articles written by Latine students, scholars and practitioners.

Submissions are accepted from students, practitioners, and scholars of all racial and ethnic backgrounds. Due to the low numbers of Latines in legal education, the Journal particularly supports the voices of Latine scholars in legal academia.

To serve as a legal research resource.

Through our articles and our symposia, we strive to provide current scholarly research to aid students and practitioners who work on legal issues of importance to Latines.
