The Asian-Pacific Law & Policy Journal (“APLPJ”) is an American legal journal dedicated to fostering interdisciplinary dialogue and advancing the understanding of legal and policy issues within the Asian-Pacific region. Our mission is to provide a web-based platform through the APLPJ website and other legal databases that showcases innovative research and insights from legal scholars, practitioners, judges, policymakers, and students. We strive to contribute to and reflect upon the unique cultural, economic, and social contexts of the Asian-Pacific community. APLPJ also aims to uplift frequently marginalized voices by illuminating people’s experiences and perspectives. Accordingly, APLPJ welcomes submissions of original, unpublished manuscripts, translations, and student comments that examine legal issues related to the Asian or Pacific regions.
