The Fordham Urban Law Journal publishes five books annually that address legal and public policy issues affecting urban populations across the nation and throughout the world. Heading into its 51st year, the Journal is Fordham Law School’s second-oldest publication and its most cited specialty journal. ULJ is the third-most cited public policy law journal in the country.
Traditionally, ULJ hosts a Cooper-Walsh Colloquium in the fall and a Symposium in the spring. At these events, scholars present and respond to issues relevant to public policy and legal discourse today.
The Journal’s books are comprised of professional Articles, Essays, and student Notes. Books are typically themed, creating a comprehensive discussion around a specific topic. Our themes for Volume 51 are as follows:
50.6 – Building a Greener Future through Urban Sustainability
51.1 – Public Health, History, and the Future of Gun Regulation After Bruen
51.2 – Governance and Property: Navigating Power and Ownership in Urban Spaces
51.3 – Urban Policy through a Critical Race Theory Lens
51.4 – Raising the Bar: Local Governments as Labor and Employment Innovators
51.5 – Urban Access to Justice
We have filled our books for Volume 51, and are no longer accepting submsisions. The Journal’s online companion, ULJ Online, provides an additional platform for timely pieces accessible to broader audiences.
