Call for Papers by Lloyd law College [Volume 1; Issue 1; Dec 2025]

About the Journal

Lloyd Journal of Law and Philosophy publishes works that explores the epistemological, hermeneutical, heuristic, and ontological dimensions of law and philosophy and their pragmatic applications in the society, particularly in justice delivery system.

It accepts research papers, articles, book reviews, Recent Cases, adjudications, policy papers and publications. All submissions are subject to blind peer review by a panel of experts and must reflect a high standard of original academic contribution.

Beyond Law, the journal welcomes interdisciplinary articles from fields such as social philosophy, economic philosophy, political philosophy, deontology, epistemology, and the sociology of law.

The journal’s core objective is to examine the relationship between law and philosophy and to demonstrate how philosophy is essential to understanding the nature and function of law.

Philosophy, as a humanistic discipline, deals with time, space, and being—concepts foundational to all human experience and legal understanding. It underpins the existence of social, legal, and moral order.

Human consciousness is shaped by materialism, positivism, empiricism and pragmatism. Since society constitutes the context of human existence, human history is likewise shaped by empirical experience.

Through this journal, the Editorial Team aspires to synthesize theory and practice, and to explore both a priori and a posteriori traditions of human knowledge in relation to law and philosophy.

The journal’s vision is to provide a platform for academicians, professionals and educators to express their insights in a way that informs readers about the philosophical dimensions of existing legal systems and the ideal forms they could take.

The editorial board remains committed to maintaining academic rigor and timely publication.
