AJCFL aims to advance scholarly understanding of contemporary developments in family law by providing a platform for rigorous, innovative, and internationally relevant research. It encourages scholarship that explores the relationship between family law and broader questions of justice, legal pluralism, human rights, gender, religion, culture, social transformation, and public policy.
The journal welcomes original research addressing a broad range of family law issues, including marriage and divorce, matrimonial property, child custody and protection, maintenance, adoption, guardianship, inheritance and succession, reproductive rights, gender and family justice, domestic relations, family dispute resolution, and other emerging legal issues affecting families.
Particular attention is given to the interaction between state law, religious law, customary law, international human rights norms, and living legal practices. AJCFL welcomes doctrinal, comparative, socio-legal, empirical, historical, anthropological, and interdisciplinary approaches to contemporary family law.
AJCFL is committed to academic rigor, intellectual diversity, research integrity, and meaningful engagement with contemporary legal problems. The journal particularly encourages studies that move beyond purely textual analysis by situating family law within its broader social, institutional, cultural, and transnational contexts.
The journal is intended for academics, researchers, legal scholars, judges, legal practitioners, policymakers, postgraduate students, and other professionals interested in family law, comparative law, religious law, legal pluralism, socio-legal studies, and related fields.
Aksen Journal of Contemporary Family Law is published biannually, with two issues in each publication cycle:
