This new addition to Law & Social Inquiry offers an innovative approach to the publishing and review of books. LSI seeks to create a community of book authors and book essayists who are mutually supportive of new frontiers in sociolegal and interdisciplinary scholarship on law outside the United States. LSI invites only those who are already authors of books to write essays on other books, thus assuring each other that authors and essayists share in the distinctive challenge and genre of book writing. Other things being equal, LSI will give priority to the review of new books written by scholars who themselves have already written essays for LSI’s international review section.
