About the Journal
Living Law Review is a peer-reviewed academic journal that focuses on the study of law as a living and dynamic social institution. The journal emphasizes the analysis of law in action, exploring how legal norms operate, evolve, and respond to social realities within diverse communities.
Grounded in the perspectives of responsive law, sociological jurisprudence, and legal pluralism, Living Law Review aims to bridge the gap between normative legal frameworks and empirical legal practices. The journal encourages critical, interdisciplinary, and contextual legal scholarship that examines how law interacts with culture, power, justice, and social change.
Living Law Review provides a scholarly platform for academics, researchers, practitioners, and policy analysts to contribute original research articles, conceptual papers, and critical reviews addressing contemporary legal issues. The journal welcomes both qualitative and quantitative approaches, as well as doctrinal and socio-legal methodologies.
Recognizing the importance of indigenous values and local wisdom in shaping legal consciousness, the journal is open to perspectives rooted in cultural traditions, including—but not limited to—customary law, community-based justice, and philosophical foundations such as wayang values as representations of ethical leadership, justice, and social responsibility.
By promoting rigorous scholarship and ethical academic standards, Living Law Review seeks to contribute to the development of inclusive, responsive, and socially grounded legal systems at national, regional, and global levels.
