Peirce College is proud to introduce a new offering from the Legal Studies Department –a law journal to serve legal studies students and legal professionals in Philadelphia and beyond. 

Managed by our distinguished Legal Studies students, and overseen by practicing attorneys and working paralegals from the region, The 1865 examines and explores current legal trends and issues from across the country.  

We are currently accepting written submissions from students, alumni, attorneys, paralegals, legal professionals, legal scholars, professors, and law enforcement. Submissions should be 1,000-6,000 words with properly cited sources.

Please review the full guidelines for Journal submissions.

Submit articles as Microsoft Word documents to LawJournal@peirce.edu.
