Announcements

Jurist-Diction (P-ISSN 2721-8392 | E-ISSN 2655-8297) is an open-access, peer-reviewed law journal published three times a year by the Faculty of Law, Universitas Airlangga. The journal serves as a platform for rigorous, innovative legal scholarship that critically engages with evolving legal systems, particularly in the context of emerging global, regional, and national challenges.

Established in 2018, Jurist-Diction has grown from a student-oriented publication into a scholarly forum for early-career academics, researchers, and legal practitioners. While maintaining accessibility to student contributions, the journal prioritizes submissions that demonstrate conceptual clarity, theoretical depth, and methodological sophistication.

The journal welcomes original research articles, conceptual papers, and case commentaries that explore legal issues using doctrinal, comparative, socio-legal, empirical, critical, or interdisciplinary approaches. Submissions may address domestic, transnational, or international legal issues, particularly those relevant to the Global South, legal reform, justice innovation, and the impact of law on society.

Key areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

Contemporary developments in criminal, civil, and constitutional law
Law, governance, and democratic backsliding
Environmental and climate justice
Legal technology, artificial intelligence, and digital transformation
Critical legal perspectives on gender, identity, and structural inequality
Comparative legal cultures in Southeast Asia and beyond
Transnational crime and regional legal harmonization
Health governance and regulatory challenges
Labour and migration law in global contexts

Jurist-Diction is particularly committed to amplifying new voices in legal scholarship and fostering critical reflection on the role of law in addressing pressing societal issues.
