We are incredibly proud to present Volume 39 of the Berkeley Journal of
Gender, Law & Justice. We extend a heartfelt thanks to our wonderful
membership and Editorial Board. Their hard work and dedication come through
in the work we publish. Even amid the stresses of law school and the world at
large-where unimaginable violence against oppressed communities has become
even more normalized- our members have continued to show up with empathy,
grace, and a steadfast commitment to uncompromised justice. . We also thank
those who have contributed to our online blog, Under Deconstruction, as it has
remained a place where our members can respond to current developments in the
law. We are especially grateful to our readers, who continue to support our journal;
this work is fundamentally about coming together and building community, and
our readers are a critical part of our efforts. Finally, we acknowledge the work of
our predecessors as we continue to build on their remarkable contributions to our
journal.
Volume 39 grapples with the challenges of an increasingly hostile legal
landscape and offers a vision for how we may continue to fight for a more just
world. It has long been apparent that the interests of lawmakers, judges, and
administrators are not aligned with those relegated to the margins. This Volume
represents our ongoing pursuit to amplify the struggles and voices of those most
impacted by implicitly and explicitly gendered regressive laws and policies.
We begin Volume 39 with the powerful words of Rocio Madrigal, a
community outreach coordinator in the Central Valley, in We have to hope that
things will change. Ms. Madrigal sheds light on the poverty, pesticides, medical
injustice, and labor exploitation farmworkers in the Central Valley face everyday,
while at the same time, highlighting necessary policy solutions and the resilience
and joy present in her community. Professor Yxta Maya Murray interviewed Ms.
Madrigal for this article to challenge the legal community's dispassionate
understanding of the grave issues farmworkers face. Murray centers the organic,
poignant, and knowledgeable voice of Ms. Madrigal to illustrate the benefits of
following community legal thought.
Next, resoundingly beloved Berkeley Law Professors, Andrew Bradt and
Mallika Kaur, combine their renowned expertise in civil procedure and domestic
violence law, respectively, to champion domestic violence tort law as a non-
carceral remedy for survivors of domestic abuse. In A Surprising Ally: Harnessing
the Power of Procedure in Domestic Violence Tort Cases, Bradt and Kaur introduce
domestic violence tort law as a relatively novel remedy, one of both promise
