Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
The Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights and Social Justice (ERSJ) debuted in 1993 as the Cardozo Women's Law Journal, one of the first law journals in the nation dedicated to scholarship on women's legal issues. As the scope of equality-focused legal scholarship expanded, the journal was renamed the Cardozo Journal of Law & Gender in 2005 to reflect a broader examination of gender and the law. In 2017, the journal adopted its current title, the Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights and Social Justice, recognizing its continued commitment to publishing interdisciplinary scholarship addressing equality, civil rights, and social justice across a wide range of legal issues, including race, gender, diversity, human rights, immigration, family law, criminal law, and employment law.
