Dear Authors and Scholars,
The Georgia State University Law Review is now accepting submissions for Volume 42’s Symposium Issue, scheduled for publication in Spring 2026. This year’s theme is “Health, Wellbeing, and the Law.”
We invite abstracts that explore a wide range of topics at the intersection of law, health, and wellbeing, including but not limited to:
- Health law and policy
- Social and political determinants of health or wellbeing
- Legal, technological, and healthcare deserts
- Community and social infrastructure
- Broad conceptions of wellbeing—including, but not limited to, economic, personal, multicultural and indigenous perspectives, and wellbeing within the legal profession
- The connection between law and the health or wellbeing of individuals, communities, and society as a whole.
Abstracts are due by August 29, 2025. Submissions should be around 250-750 words. At this time, we are not accepting student note submissions.
