Day, Chairez-Perez said, to acknowledge the tenor of the times and the emergence of a "new civil rights movement." Students intentionally launched the journal on Martin Luther King, Jr.
"My wish is that this will give voice to those whose stories are too often overlooked,'' Christiansen said, "that it will empower legal advocates to pursue inclusive, meaningful equality in necessary and novel ways, and it will connect a broad community of scholars and activists to the work of justice." Christiansen agreed that the moment is ripe to augment the school's current scholarly publications with one dedicated to the law's capacity to advance social justice. The journal complements GGU's three other publications: the GGU Law Review, the GGU Environmental Law Journal, and the GGU Annual Survey of International and Comparative Law. To them I say, this journal is proof positive that being in school does not mean that you have to be silent."

"As someone who has spent her entire career as a scholar activist on legal issues impacting communities of color with an intersectional approach," Nanda added, "I deeply appreciate the need for complexity and depth when addressing social justice issues." They created a journal to analyze social justice legal issues with an intersectional lens that takes into account race, gender, and sexuality-issues and voices often missing in legal academic literature." "These three GGU students are true visionaries. "The launch of this journal comes at a pivotal moment in our country's history amid a reckoning with the dynamics of race and gender, particularly with respect to police interactions with Black and Brown communities," Nanda said. Given these strengths, Nanda said, the school is perfectly positioned to host a platform for its faculty and students to publish scholarly work focused on these and related issues. GGU Law is a well-respected leader in the education of race, gender, and social justice issues, and it serves predominantly Black, brown, LGBTQ, and other minority law students. Students will contribute short-form blog posts throughout the academic year, then publish a first edition of scholarly articles in late spring.
