"Social & Legal Studies," as a journal with a prestigious reputation in the international academic community, is committed to promoting innovative and in-depth socio-legal research. It emphasizes not only the depth and breadth of theory but also the rigor and innovation of empirical research. The journal encourages scholars to propose new perspectives and methods from different cultural and regional backgrounds to promote a more comprehensive understanding of the relationship between law and society.

It particularly values research in emerging fields, such as the intersection of law and technology, law and the environment, and law and globalization. Research in these areas helps to reveal the new roles and challenges of law in contemporary society. At the same time, the journal also especially encourages contributions from non-Western scholars to ensure the diversity and global perspective of its content, thereby enriching and expanding the academic discussion and practical application of socio-legal studies.
