The mission of The Georgetown Journal of Gender and the Law is to explore the impact of gender and sexuality on both the theory and practice of law. We are one of the only legal journals in the world to explicitly address these intersection between gender and sexuality.

Our journal’s three annual issues integrate cutting-edge legal scholarship and practical applications. One issue, the student-authored Annual Review of Gender and the Law, is the nation’s only comprehensive guide to legal issues relating to gender and sexuality. The Annual Review summarizes existing law and highlights recent changes. Practitioners, judges, advocacy organizations, and scholars alike rely on this important tool.
