About the journal
Law, Culture and the Humanities is the interdisciplinary peer-reviewed journal at the intersection of law and the humanities — law and literature, legal history, legal theory, cultural studies of law, and humanities approaches to questions of justice, authority, sovereignty, and rights.
Editorial scope covers narrative and rhetorical analysis of legal texts, the cultural history of law (the iconography of justice, the cultural memory of trials and judgments), critical legal theory, post-colonial and feminist approaches to law, the law-and-emotion literature, the cultural geography of jurisdiction, and the wider question of how non-legal disciplines (philosophy, history, literary criticism, anthropology) inform our understanding of legal institutions and legal language.
Some late-2000s external resource pages pointed Edward Arnold–style URLs at this ISSN, which is why the title appears in the restored journal directory; the journal itself was launched with SAGE Publications in 2005 rather than under the Arnold imprint, but the entry preserves the backlink semantics for those legacy paths. The journal continues to be published by SAGE in association with the Association for the Study of Law, Culture and the Humanities.
