Discourse publishes shorter articles that are timely, interdisciplinary, and novel. Discourse strives to serve as a platform for scholars, ideas, and discussions that have often been overlooked in traditional law review settings.

Beginning with Volume 68, Discourse began publishing special issues of Law Meets World.
