Now Accepting Submissions for Volume III, Issue 2

The Nebraska Journal on Advancing Justice (NJAJ) welcomes submissions from individuals across disciplines and backgrounds, including academics, researchers, practitioners, students, and those with lived experience navigating or engaging with justice in American society. We invite a range of contributions, including scholarly articles, essays, book reviews, and creative works (including visual art, songs, poems, etc.). Submissions will be accepted through July 31, 2026. Early submissions are encouraged and will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
Volume III, Issue 2, will examine the policy choices that have shaped the American legal system over the past 250 years. This issue seeks to explore how these choices have evolved, the values they reflect, and their consequences for justice in practice. At the same time, we aim to imagine how alternative policy choices might inform a more equitable legal system over the next 250 years.
