Indigenous Law Journal

at the University of Toronto

The Indigenous Law Journal is a student-run legal journal with a mixture of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal staff. We are the first and only Canadian legal journal to exclusively publish articles regarding Indigenous legal issues.

Welcome from all four directions.

The Indigenous Law Journal is dedicated to developing dialogue and scholarship in the field of Indigenous legal issues both in Canada and internationally. We encourage submissions from all perspectives. Our central concerns are Indigenous legal systems and legal systems as they affect Indigenous peoples.

We are governed by core values that include recognition:

  • that Indigenous legal systems are best learned from the context and perspectives of Indigenous peoples;
  • that to ensure balance and cultural authenticity, both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal participation is required in all of the journal's editorial and business decisions; and
  • that the pursuit of excellence in scholarship is rooted in both an understanding of the past, and a commitment to innovation.

We are a primary source of original, top-quality articles, notes, case comments, and reviews. Our call for submissions goes to hundreds of law schools worldwide.

Consider Subscribing!

The ILJ is a student-run, non-profit journal. This year we decided to make the full text of all articles available here on our website, back to Issue 1. However, most of our revenue stream comes from subscriptions to the print edition.

As costs continue to rise, our subscription rates have remained low: $30 for students, $40 for professionals, and $50 for institutions! From this year forward, we will also be printing on recycled paper.

Please consider subscribing today -- it is as simple as one click!
