Journal Information

Welcome to the Queen Mary Law Journal (QMLJ), a distinguished platform dedicated to advancing legal scholarship and fostering rich interdisciplinary discourse. Established in 1998, our journal has been a beacon of legal thought, providing a space for both students and practitioners to publish work that extends beyond the traditional legal curriculum.

Our Mission and Vision

At QMLJ, our mission is to expand and redefine the boundaries of legal scholarship. We are committed to publishing high-quality, peer-reviewed legal research that addresses contemporary and interdisciplinary themes. Each issue of our journal is meticulously curated to ensure it contributes meaningfully to the collective understanding and application of law.

Our Journey

Our journey began with a simple yet powerful mission: to offer an avenue for legal scholars to share their insights and innovative ideas. Over the years, we have faced challenges, including a hiatus in 2020 due to the global pandemic. However, these challenges have only strengthened our resolve. In 2021, we re-emerged with renewed vigour, now led by research-focused doctoral students who bring a higher level of academic rigour and scholarly insight to our publication.
