About the Journal

Law, Technology and Humans is an international, open access, peer-reviewed journal publishing original, innovative research concerned with the human and humanity of law and technology. Law, Technology and Humans publishes collections of articles in special issues and symposiums, and individual articles.

Committed to the wide and unrestricted dissemination of knowledge Law, Technology and Humans encourages scholarship that reflects on how technology is changing law, regulation and normative conduct and also how law, regulation and normative conduct effects local and global challenges and opportunities from technological change.

Manuscripts on the possible disruption and changes for humans and their planet from emergent technologies are welcome as well as quality reflection on existing and past interactions between law and technology.

Manuscripts that consider law and technology though the humanities, social sciences, political, social, media and technology theory, economics and empirical studies are particularly encouraged, as are manuscripts that consider law, technology and humans in the context of Asian, southern, postcolonial and First Nation societies.
