Social Change seeks legal scholarship that pertains to the relationship between law and contemporary social issues. We seek to publish timely articles that have a “page-to-practice” element. Page-to-practice is a broad term that encompasses novel theoretical approaches to intractable legal problems, concrete policy suggestions, and advice to litigators and to direct service providers. Our articles seek to promote social equality, empower marginalized communities, or consider the relationship between the law and individuals’ lived experiences.
All articles must be at least 6,000 words. However, our online publication accepts articles 500-6,000 words in length. For more information, visit our website: http://socialchangenyu.com/.
Social Change publishes only legal scholarship on domestic issues. We do not publish research surveys, book reviews, or purely historical articles. In addition, we do not publish articles on international law unless they are directly applicable to domestic practice.
Social Change follows the text and footnote citation rules set forth in A Uniform System of Citation (20th ed. 2015) (“The Bluebook”). For stylistic matters not addressed by The Bluebook, Social Change refers to The Chicago Manual of Style (16th ed. 2010).
Articles may be submitted to the N.Y.U. Review of Law & Social Change through this online delivery system. For those authors who do not have access to this system or for whom this presents a financial barrier, submissions in Microsoft Word or PDF format may be sent to nyu.rlsc.submissions@gmail.com or by mail to:

As a part of our commitment to equality, we do not differentiate between student, practitioner, or scholars’ articles.
