Established in 1991, the UCLA Asian Pacific American Law Journal (APALJ) is one of only two law journals in the nation that focuses exclusively on the legal, social, and political issues affecting Asian Pacific American communities.  APALJ provides a forum for legal scholars, practitioners, and students to discuss emerging issues affecting South Asian, Southeast Asian, East Asian, and Pacific Islander communities in the United States.  APALJ publishes written work regarding these issues for dissemination to the general public.  Through publication, APALJ hopes to move Asian American jurisprudence in a direction that will aid Asian Pacific Americans in their struggles.
