Berkeley Journal of Gender, Law & Justice publishes one annual volume of intersectional feminist legal scholarship. Members meet biweekly to discuss and vote on proposed academic articles through a consensus-inspired selection process, then work through a multi-phase editorial process. The journal also hosts writing competitions (the Albiston and Weddington Prizes), publishes online posts on topics like digital violence and reproductive justice, and maintains a resource guide for survivors at Berkeley Law.
