The journal publishes academic papers on Theory and Philosophy of Law, Sociology of Law and Political Philosophy, and also interdisciplinary research based on critical methodologies and approaches.

Articles submitted to the Law and Praxis journal go through a double blind review process performed on average between 60 and 120 days after submission. The referees may consider the article approved (and still make suggestions), demand compulsory adjustments (which will be sent to the author and returned to the referee for a conference) or refuse publication. In order to be approved for publication, the article cannot receive any rejections. On the other hand, an article whose reviewer’s opinion requires mandatory edits may be published. Return to authors: After evaluation, articles are returned to authors for corrections. Once those are made, there are two conferences: one by the referee and another by the executive committee for effective certification. The editorial committee decides about the order of publication and finalizes the selection. Law and Praxis’ issues are published quarterly in March, June, September and December of each year.
