Focus and Scope

The Oñati Socio-Legal Series is an international peer-reviewed on-line journal which publishes work within the field of law and society. This is broadly defined to include work which makes a significant contribution to the understanding and analysis of law as a set of social institutions, processes, practices or techniques, using any methodologies and approaches from the social sciences and humanities. Publication can be in any language, though the main languages are English, Spanish and French. Articles should normally be of 8-15,000 words. However, shorter and longer work can be considered if the length is appropriate and justified.
