Wisconsin Women's Law Journal to become Wisconsin Journal of Law, Gender & Society

In January 2008, the Wisconsin Women's Law Journal will become the Wisconsin Journal of Law, Gender & Society. We are proud of our history as one of the first law journals in the nation to publish exclusively on the study of gender and the law. We feel that the new name more accurately reflects both our established mission statement and the true breadth of topics addressed by the articles we publish. The new name does not mark a change in the Journal's content, instead it acknowledges we are a publication devoted to scholarship addressing the intersections of law and gender with race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status and sexual orientation.

WWLJ Writing Program Participants to Publish Three Articles in 2007-2008

The Wisconsin Women's Law Journal is proud to announce that over the next year, the Journal will publish three articles by participants in its writing program.

"In re the Termination of Parental Rights to Max G.W.: Beginning to Pave the Way for Wisconsin's Incarcerated Mothers to Retain their Parental Rights and Serve the Best Interest of their Children" by Katie Holtz and "Singling Them Out: The Influence of the "Boy Crisis" on the New Title IX Regulations" by Elizabeth Kisthardt will be published in the Fall 2007 issue of the Journal.  "Our Safety or Their Lives? Legislative Changes Impacting Immigration and the Risks Posed to Immigrant Women" by Kathryn Fanlund will be published in the Spring 2008 issue.
