Albiston Prize

“[BGLJ] is organized around the idea that even innovative and revolutionary feminist legal scholarship tends to make implicit assumptions that obscure the race, sexual orientation, class, and the disability statuses of women.”

— Professor Catherine Albiston

The Albiston Prize recognizes exemplary student scholarship on recent developments in Gender, Law & Justice.

Eligibility:

  • Work must be written by students who were enrolled in law school during the Spring semester;

  • Article has not previously been published and is not committed to being published elsewhere;

  • Work meets BGLJ's mandate: to publish feminist legal scholarship that critically examines the intersection of gender with one or more other axes of subordination, including, but not limited to, race, class, sexual orientation, and disability;

  • Recommended 30-50 page manuscript, although the quality of the work will be assessed regardless of length.

To ask questions or submit: Email bglj.rdc@berkeley.edu
