The Women's Law Forum (WLF) at Villanova University School of Law is an electronic legal publication. The WLF seeks to serve as a forum for legal scholarship, to educate and increase awareness on legal issues affecting women, to provide a source for recent developments in the field, and to provide a research tool to the legal community.

The WLF intends to supplement and expand upon the offerings of traditional print journals. The WLF seeks to offer law professors, practicing attorneys, judges, and other professionals the opportunity to publish their articles on-line and to electronically engage in discourse with the legal community to discuss, debate, and ultimately improve their publications.

The WLF consists of three main sections:

Scholarly Articles

WLF's articles section publishes scholarly analyses by law professors, practicing attorneys, judges, and other professionals. The published articles, working papers, and speeches address current legal issues affecting women such as women and families, women and work, and the construction of sexuality. Legal professionals are invited to submit their papers for publication on the WLF.

Commentary

WLF's Student Commentary section publishes scholarly, in-depth analyses as well as less formal works by law students addressing specific topics relating to gender issues. The Student Commentary section seeks to supplement the educational experience of law students by providing them with the opportunity to research, write, and contribute to the legal discourse. Students from accredited law schools are invited to submit their papers for publication on the WLF.

News

WLF's News section presents brief student essays and summaries by WLF staff members on current news and recent developments in the law relating to gender issues.
