University of Miami's Race and Social Justice Law Review

Article types

We welcome articles that explore a wide range of topics, including—but not limited to—reparations, prison abolition, transgender rights and advocacy, race-driven gentrification, disparities in access to legal services across racially diverse communities, the roots and consequences of homophobia within communities of color, and pressing constitutional or employment issues related to race. Submissions addressing other forms of systemic injustice faced by marginalized or disenfranchised groups are also encouraged.

Submission requirements

All submissions must adhere to the 21st Edition of the Bluebook. Submissions should be in Times New Roman, no smaller than 12-point font, should utilize footnotes, and should have numbered pages. All submissions must include (1) a brief abstract, (2) a copy of the manuscript, and (3) the author’s most recent résumé or C.V.

The Journal publishes one volume per year composed of two issues published in the Fall and Spring semesters. Submissions are accepted year round and should aim to be between 30-50 pages including footnotes. Longer and shorter articles will still be reviewed and accepted based on quality.
