The mission of The Georgetown Journal of Gender and the Law is to explore the impact of gender and sexuality on both the theory and practice of law. We are one of the only legal journals in the world to explicitly address these intersection between gender and sexuality.

Our journal’s three annual issues integrate cutting-edge legal scholarship and practical applications.
