Dear Professor or Practitioner,On behalf of the Editorial Board, I would like to invite you to submit an article to be considered for publication in Volume 16 of the Georgetown Journal on Poverty Law & Policy (GJPLP). The GJPLP is the nation’s premier law journal on poverty and it publishes articles from distinguished law professors and practitioners in poverty-related disciplines. Highly-regarded and widely-distributed among attorneys, policy-makers, academics, students and public interest groups, the GJPLP plays a key role in forging the national debate on poverty issues by raising awareness, offering analysis, and crafting solutions.
For the 2008-2009 academic year, the GJPLP will continue its commitment to publishing high-quality articles related to poverty.
Our first issue, 16.1, will explore housing and poverty.
Our second issue, 16.2, will focus on the unique issues involving poverty and the elderly.
Our third and final issue, 16.3, will focus on the intersection of juvenile justice and poverty.In addition, our third issue, 16.3, will correspond with a symposium on the intersection of juvenile justice and poverty, to be held in Spring 2009. Those interested in participating in this symposium should contact the Symposium Editor, Kate Rhudy, at kar79 [at] law.georgetown.edu.
The GJPLP considers traditional law review articles, as well as case studies, case comments, and narrative submissions for publication. Additionally, the GJPLP welcomes all methodologies and seeks innovative approaches to poverty law and policy.
