Nicole Gon Ochi

          Welcome to a new kind of law journal. We are a movement journal, committed to supporting, enhancing, and privileging all the diverse voices in our Southern California community that contribute to the steady march towards justice. We are a collaborative journal, uniting the energy of law school students from Loyola, Pepperdine, UCLA, and USC with public interest lawyers, activists, and community members to generate important practitioner-oriented scholarship. We are a journal striving to live by the social justice values we espouse by sharing resources, rejecting internal hierarchy, and promoting vigorous discussion, and even dissension, within the pages of our journal. And we are a journal that is unabashedly in process–our commitment is to support local social justice movements and we will be as flexible as necessary to serve the needs of these movements.
