The Journal

Latin American Law Review (Lat. Am. Law Rev.) is a diamond open access journal published by the School of Law at Universidad de los Andes (Colombia) and the División de Estudios Jurídicos del Centro de Investigación y Docencia Económicas A.C. CIDE (México). The journal publishes articles based on legal and sociolegal research that address problems in any field of law and that are relevant for scholarship about Latin America. All articles published in the journal are submitted to external peer review. All articles published in the journal are subject to evaluation by two peers outside the University. The journal is biannual and publishes its contents in English and Spanish. The digital contents of each issue are open access through its website and can be downloaded in PDF and HTML.

The main goals of Latin American Law Review are the following:

• To publish research articles that approach law from original and interdisciplinary perspectives that allow a broad audience to access contents that propose creative analyses about legal issues that are relevant for Latin America.
• To promote theoretical and empirical approaches to legal studies and to encourage new research agendas that address legal issues within the framework of social problems that are important for scholars interested in the region.
• To encourage dialogue between legal scholars, academics from other disciplines and lawyers engaged in the practice of law in Latin America in order to connect theoretical questions with the day-to-day practice of law and thus contribute to the improvement of the practice of law in the region.
