Responding to Submissions and Introducing Issue 23(1)

Feminist Legal Studies (FLS) has been working with its new Board for 2 years now
and we thought it timely to share some further reflections on developments (Lamble
2014). This editorial itself is an experiment as we consider ways of using FLS
spaces to encourage distribution of and engagement with feminist insights. From
this issue on, we plan to publish open access editorials to introduce readers to new
FLS content and to encourage interaction with the journal.
Some editorials will highlight Board practices, decisions or ideas that may be of
interest to scholars and practitioners in feminist legal studies. Other editorials will
provide an opportunity to discuss some topic or approach in feminist legal studies
more generally. In this regard we would like to announce that FLS will host an
international and interdisciplinary seminar in London, UK, on 30 June and 1 July
2016 to consider the relationship between feminism, legality and knowledge. We
hope that the journal, alongside related projects and publications, will go on to
address some of the insights that emerge from that seminar. In the meantime, here
we provide an updated account of how the FLS Board responds to submissions of
various kinds, and introduce the content of this first issue of 2015.
FLS Practice in Responding to Submissions
When authors submit their work through the Editorial Manager system, the first
thing that happens is that the Academic Editor, currently Ruth Fletcher, is notified
and assigns it to one of the Associate Editors. Taking expertise and workload
