Call for Papers: Georgetown Journal on Poverty Law & Policy

Georgetown Journal on Poverty Law & Policy

Call for Papers

That the poor are invisible is one of the most important things about them. They are not simply neglected and forgotten as in the old rhetoric of reform; what is much worse, they are not seen.

           -Michael Harrington, The Other America (1962).

 

We would like to invite you to submit an article for consideration of publication to the Georgetown Journal on Poverty Law & Policy.  GJPLP is the nation's premier law journal on poverty and it publishes articles from distinguished law professors and practitioners in poverty-related disciplines.

GJPLP considers traditional law review articles, as well as case studies, case comments, and narrative submissions for publication. Additionally, GJPLP welcomes all methodologies and seeks innovative approaches to poverty law and policy.
