The Journal of Law and Public Policy (JLPP) publishes original scholarship on the interface between law and public policy at the national, regional, and international levels. Contributions that examine the process of public interest decision-making are especially welcome. Articles must advance interdisciplinary approaches to law and justice with a strong focus on socio-economic and political contexts. The journal also welcomes empirical, historical, and comparative analyses that are grounded in theoretical debates. In addition to upholding high academic standards, JLPP encourages writing that is accessible to a wide range of readers, such as policymakers, researchers, and faculty and students of law and public policy across the world. The journal is open access and follows a double-anonymous peer review process.

Founded in 2014, JLPP was published by the Centre for Environmental Law, Education, Research and Advocacy at the National Law School of India University, Bengaluru. The University relaunched the journal in 2024 with a new Editorial Board consisting of faculty members from various departments and centres. In its new avatar, JLPP releases two issues a year—one general and one theme-based issue. While it continues to be open access, the journal is available in print format as well.
