The Scholar is a mission-focused journal and strives to add new thoughts and perspectives about the impact of the law and hegemony on the lives and identities of marginalized groups. Their primary goal is to amplify the voices of those who would otherwise be voiceless.

This year, their theme is Due Process: The Principle vs The Practice. Following the theme, the Symposium will be focused on shining a light on social justice issues by furthering the understanding of what due process means and how it is applied in the lives of our community. This Symposium is hosted each spring with the intent to educate and enlighten our legal community about issues and developments within the industry.
