The second volume<\/a> of the Kent Student Law Review, a student-led publication showcasing critical legal scholarship at Kent Law School, is now available to read\u00a0online.<\/p>\n

The journal provides a platform for undergraduate and postgraduate law students to have their work peer reviewed and published.<\/p>\n

Editorial Board members Patrik Jacobsson and Cynthia Lei have been working hard behind the scenes, with support from Kent Law School Lecturer Dr Sin\u00e9ad Ring and Nick Piska, to produce a volume that reflects theoretically informed scholarship. The aim of the journal is to enhance the presence of critical legal thought within academia and to further the philosophy of teaching at Kent Law School.<\/p>\n

Cindy said: ‘As a law student in my final year, taking on the Kent Student Law Review as co-Editor-in-Chief was challenging but also helped me to become a better writer. Through the entire process of submissions, to consulting with the Academic Review Committee on which articles to accept, to working together with the authors and copy-editing, I have learned so much about what it takes to write well and also how to polish it to a high academic standard worthy of publication.<\/p>\n

‘It\u2019s not just about picking a good article and making sure the grammar and spelling is correct, it\u2019s about reading it for content, structure, flow, and checking references for all sources. Along with my co-Editor-in-Chief Patrik, we have spent countless hours reading and re-reading the articles making suggestions and changes as necessary to ensure that every article we publish is something we are both proud of. The Academic Review Committee has been rigorous in their standards and our authors really stepped up and delivered.<\/p>\n

‘This edition of the Kent Student Law Review is something that we are all very proud of and we hope that next year\u2019s editors will find the experience just as rewarding!’<\/p>\n

A special launch event for the second volume was held in Grimond on Kent\u2019s Canterbury campus last week, attended by staff, students and alumni. Articles include:<\/p>\n
