Our Mission...
The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Minority Issues seeks to speak on behalf of minorities by reaching out to the larger community, to inform them, to share with them, to educate them and to grow with them. The goal of The Scholar is to give all minorities a "voice" in the publication of a legal journal on issues affecting all minorities.
In today's climate, where affirmative action is seen as a necessary evil, and where discrimination is viewed as a problem of the past, this scholarly journal wishes to extend and further the discourse of issues that touch upon race, ethnicity, class, gender and sexual identity, as well as the countless other labels applied to individuals and groups in our society.
Our primary goal is to educate ourselves and, in the process, offer some different perspectives not often allowed or sought after in our society. The Scholar members and staff will strive diligently and honestly to produce articles that will offer insights into the daily struggles of minorities today.
The articles published in The Scholar will be building blocks for an understanding of the issues that face all of us today. These building blocks will form bridges: bridges to bring together all the members in our society, bridges to connect all groups that comprise our community and bridges to access self-discovery and an understanding of the other.
We wish to add to the existing discourse on the role of the law and the influence of one state over others hegemony in the lives and identities of minorities. We plan for the work of this journal to be transformative: it will educate, inform and enlighten those who participate. We are creating an environment that will allow everyone to learn, to teach, to share, to work together and to contribute to the legal and educational communities.
The Scholar is a sign of hope for a promising future and for a better understanding of all members of our society.
