About the Journal
Law and Humanities (ISSN Print: 3079-5117, ISSN Online: 3079-5125) is an international, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to exploring the dynamic intersections between legal studies and the humanities. By fostering interdisciplinary dialogue, the journal seeks to illuminate how law is shaped by—and in turn shapes—cultural, historical, philosophical, artistic, and ethical dimensions of human experience. It provides a platform for critical scholarship that challenges conventional legal frameworks, reimagines justice through humanistic lenses, and bridges the gap between legal theory and cultural practice.
