The Journal of Law & Social Challenges ("JLSC") was established by the students at the University of San Francisco School of Law to provide legal scholars, practitioners, policy makers, and students with a forum to address and provide solutions to contemporary social issues that are currently under legislative or judicial consideration.

Each issue of the Journal includes articles exploring timely social topic from an array of domestic and international perspectives. The range of these varying viewpoints reflects the diversity of our nation and also reminds us of the broad social implications that laws have on our society as a whole.

Through the publication of the JLSC, the University of San Francisco law students will be educating themselves and society about highly relevant social issues while providing advocates and practitioners with an invaluable source of legal and policy analyses.

Our mission is to provide, maintain, and promote dialogue to cultivate respect between and among advocates of different perspectives so as to effectuate social policies that will promote and foster human dignity, respect, and, ultimately, justice.

On April 4, 2008, the JLSC is hosting a Symposium entitled "The Future of Corporate Accountability and Oversight".

Our Symposium seeks to address these issues in a one-day event to be held on April 4, 2008 from 12:00 pm until 5:30 pm. Please join us by registering online.
