University of Miami
Race and Social Justice Law Review
Founded in 2007, the University of Miami Race and Social Justice Law Review, formerly known as the Black Law Review, is a student journal committed to the promotion and publication of scholarly articles that address the legal, social, economic, and psychological issues that affect communities of color, with a particular emphasize on the global Black community. The Race and Social Justice Law Review published its first edition in 2009. The articles published through the Race and Social Justice Law Review are geared towards promoting scholarly dialogue about major issues affecting communities of color, including, but not limited to the economics of discrimination, racial profiling, and healthcare.
The Race and Social Justice Law Review publications strive to reflect the diverse racial and cultural dynamic of South Florida by addressing issues facing all cultural groups in South Florida that identify as culturally or ethnically black. In doing so, the Race and Social Justice Law Review's publications consider not only American-born blacks, but also South Florida's vast immigrant population that includes individuals from the Caribbean islands such as Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, and Central and South America.
The University of Miami Race and Social Justice Law is only the eighth such law review in the country. By embracing and encouraging the development of the University of Miami Race and Social Justice Law Review, the University of Miami has once again illustrated that it is a pioneer at the forefront of diverse legal scholarship.
