About the Journal

Focus: Artes Libres Law and Social Journal is dedicated to the exploration and analysis of the intricate intersections between law and society. Our primary focus is on how legal frameworks and social structures influence human behavior and societal norms, as well as how these elements can challenge and transform legal practices. We aim to foster interdisciplinary dialogue that illuminates the role of law in shaping cultural narratives and promoting social justice.

Scope: The journal publishes original research articles, case studies, reviews, and essays that address a wide range of topics, including but not limited to:

  1. Legal Theory and Philosophy: Examining the philosophical foundations of law and its implications for social justice and ethical considerations.

  2. Cultural Studies: Analyzing the impact of legal decisions on cultural production and the representation of marginalized voices in society.

  3. Human Rights and Law: Investigating the relationship between legal frameworks and human rights, including issues of censorship, freedom of speech, and advocacy.

  4. Sociology of Law: Exploring how legal systems affect social behavior, community dynamics, and the cultural significance of legal practices.

  5. Transnational Perspectives: Addressing how globalization and international law shape local practices and legal systems across different cultures.

Artes Libres Law and Social Journal invites contributions that engage critically with these themes, promoting innovative approaches and diverse perspectives. We seek to provide a platform for scholars, practitioners, and activists to share insights and foster a deeper understanding of the complex relationship between law and society.
