The 1865 Law Journal, Volume 2 Is Now Published

Peirce College is proud to announce that The 1865: Peirce College Law Journal, Volume 2, Edition 1 is now published.

The 1865 is a student-run, double-blind peer-review law journal, providing a forum for original articles written by attorneys, paralegals, legal professionals, legal scholars, professors, and law enforcement. The journal addresses issues, trends, and compelling topics in the legal field as well as specific topics in the paralegal profession. 

In 1985, Peirce established a paralegal studies degree program and started one of the first paralegal programs in the region. Once approved by the American Bar Association (ABA), the Paralegal degree program quickly became one of Peirce’s most popular and remains the Greater Philadelphia Region’s ONLY ABA-approved bachelor’s degree in Paralegal Studies. 

The articles included in the second edition of The 1865: Peirce College Law Journal are:

–  What’s So Funny About Peace, Love, and ‘Ordinary Equality’: The Modern Case for the Equal Rights Amendment – Cynthia M. Gentile, J.D.
–  Fatphobia in the Workplace and How the EEOC Should Intervene – Doris Hiegl
–  STARE DECISIS: A Commitment to the People – LaToyia Baskerville-Uzzell
