The Stanford Journal of Science, Law, and Policy invites you to submit  
articles for publication in this new, interdisciplinary journal  
devoted to bridging the gap between legal and scientific scholarship.

The journal is founded on the recognition that the challenges facing  
today's policy makers are complex for both scientific and legal  
reasons, and that the search for solutions will require pioneering,  
cross-disciplinary collaboration.

Articles are accepted on a rolling basis. The Spring 2009 issue will  
contain articles received before 15 February, 2009.

This online journal publishes original research, essays, and case  
studies intended for legal, science, and policy audiences. Articles  
should address critical issues at the intersection of science and law,  
such as through the application of cutting-edge scientific knowledge  
to new or existing legal questions, or by addressing the impact of  
legal concepts on the conduct of science. Appropriate themes includes,  
but are not limited to, human health, terrestrial and marine  
conservation, global development and equity, energy and climate  
change, privacy and ethics of scientific research, environmental  
justice, and policy approaches to scientific uncertainty.

We strongly encourage legal and scientific scholars to collaborate and  
co-author submissions.
For legal and policy scholars, publishing in this journal provides an  
opportunity to work with scientific experts and ground their work in  
the most up-to-date sicence.
For scientists, the journal allows communication of cutting-edge  
scientific research directly to the policy community in a format not  
available anywhere else. The Journal provides an outlet for scientists  
to develop the conclusions from their scientific papers into robust  
discussions for policymakers.
