"Human Rights & Globalization Law Review".

Howard University School of Law (Atlanta, GA) is now publishing "Human Rights & Globalization Review," a successor to the school's "Howard Scroll: Social Justice Law Review." It is published twice a year to provide articles that focus on and contribute to an "ever-changing national and international legal landscape." Access is available through Westlaw and LexisNexis as well as through a print subscription.

In line with the mission of the law school, the purpose of the journal is to enhance scholarly dialogue on various issues of humanity, equal justice, social policy and worldwide development. As such, the law review is designed to serve as a legal and academic outlet for the discussion of topics such as poverty, human trafficking, company outsourcing, genocide, mass incarceration, the rights of women and children, and the implications of war.

The first issue includes articles and commentary on: the history and legal developments associated with the "Jena Six;" an examination of the social protocol to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, an international and comparative assessment of U.S. rules on sentencing of juveniles, and relevant conduct sentencing as an increasingly harmful sentencing practice.
