LJLGS: Lexora Journal of Law, Governance and Society is a peer-reviewed, open-access international journal dedicated to publishing pioneering research at the nexus of jurisprudence, public administration, and socio-legal studies. Positioned at the critical intersection of legal theory, institutional governance, and societal dynamics, the journal serves as a premier scholarly forum for legal scholars, policy analysts, sociologists, and public administrators worldwide. LJLGS prioritizes macro-level structural critiques, rigorous empirical legal research, and innovative policy frameworks that address the complexities of modern legal systems and public governance. By bridging classical legal doctrines with contemporary social realities, the journal fosters a holistic understanding of how laws are drafted, how institutions govern, and how these mechanisms impact justice, equity, and social transformation.

Scope and Topics

The journal welcomes high-quality original research articles, critical reviews, and conceptual papers that offer significant contributions to the following thematic areas:

  • Jurisprudence & Legal Systems: Constitutional and administrative law, comparative legal systems, international law, human rights law, and criminal justice reforms.

  • Public Governance & Institutional Policy: Public administration, democratic governance frameworks, anti-corruption strategies, public policy evaluation, and global governance dynamics.

  • Socio-Legal Studies & Social Justice: The sociology of law, legal anthropology, access to justice, indigenous rights, and the intersection of law with gender, race, and class.

  • Law, Technology & Digital Society: Cyber law, data privacy frameworks, the legal implications of artificial intelligence, intellectual property in the digital age, and digital governance.

  • Corporate Governance & Economic Law: International trade law, corporate social responsibility (CSR), regulatory frameworks for financial systems, and environmental law for sustainable governance.

Publication Frequency

To ensure rigorous editorial oversight, thorough peer review, and timely dissemination of critical legal and policy research, LJLGS is published semi-annually (2 issues per year, typically scheduled for release in June and December). Special thematic issues focusing on urgent legal reforms, global governance crises, or paradigm shifts in international human rights may be commissioned by the Editorial Board.

Peer Review Process

LJLGS enforces a strict double-blind peer review policy to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity, legal validity, and analytical objectivity.

  • Initial Desk Evaluation: Every submission undergoes a preliminary screening by the Editor-in-Chief or a relevant Subject Editor to assess thematic alignment, methodological soundness (doctrinal or empirical), and structural compliance. Plagiarism screening via Turnitin/iThenticate is strictly executed at this stage, requiring a similarity index below the journal's maximum threshold.

  • Expert Peer Review: Manuscripts passing the desk evaluation are anonymized and assigned to at least two independent international reviewers who are established experts in the specific domain of law, public policy, or sociology.

  • Editorial Decision: Based on the reviewers' recommendations, the Editorial Board renders one of four decisions: Acceptance, Revisions Required (Minor/Major), Resubmit for Review, or Rejection. The final decision rests entirely on the intellectual merit, theoretical rigor, and practical applicability of the work to legal and societal advancement.

Mission Statement: "The mission of LJLGS is to deconstruct complex legal and administrative barriers, catalyzing equitable governance and social justice within a rapidly evolving global society. Grounded in the philosophy that transparent legal frameworks, accountable institutions, and robust human rights are the absolute anchors for democratic resilience and societal peace, the journal aims to democratize legal and policy knowledge by providing an unrestricted, high-impact platform for global scholarly dialogue. Through the promotion of diverse and rigorous methodological approaches—encompassing doctrinal legal research, comparative policy analysis, and empirical socio-legal studies—LJLGS seeks to empower legal advocates, inspire public policymakers, and shape future-proof, evidence-based governance paradigms worldwide."
