Changing the conversation one idea at a time
The Dalhousie Law Journal is one of North America’s few faculty-run publications with an editorial board composed exclusively of full-time professors and professional librarians at the Schulich School of Law. The Dalhousie Law Journal publishes two issues per year.
The Journal’s vision is to be a platform for the ideas and voices of legal academics, practitioners, and students.
