About the Journal

Law and Society in Transition is a biannual (January and July), peer-reviewed journal dedicated to examining the dynamic transformation of legal systems in an era of profound global, technological, social, and political change. It serves as a vibrant interdisciplinary platform that bridges classical legal scholarship with bold, innovative, and forward-looking perspectives. The journal fosters meaningful dialogue on how law adapts, evolves, and sometimes reinvents itself amid rapidly shifting contexts.

At its core, Law and Society in Transition emphasises emerging legal fields, systemic legal reform, transitional justice, and the intricate interplay between law and society. It provides a dedicated space for rigorous academic analysis, creative legal thinking, and cross-disciplinary inquiry. The journal not only interrogates established legal frameworks and their limitations but also encourages visionary scholarship that imagines new possibilities for justice, governance, and social order in the twenty-first century and beyond.

The journal is designed for a diverse and engaged readership, including: Legal scholars and researchers, practising lawyers, policymakers, social scientists and philosophers, law students and educators, NGOs, think tanks, and advocacy groups.

By convening these varied voices, Law and Society in Transition aims to cultivate thoughtful, impactful scholarship that addresses the complexities of a world in constant transition.
