Three Harvard Law School professors have teamed up with the MIT Press to launch a new journal focused on issues of inequality. The
American Journal of Law and Equality will be led and edited by its founders, Randall L Kennedy, the Michael R. Klein Professor of Law; Martha Minow, the 300th Anniversary University Professor; and Cass R. Sunstein, the Robert Walmsley University Professor.
The new journal is expected to appear once per year and include a diversity of scholarship and views from experts and practitioners from in and outside the legal academy. The first issue, expected this summer, will include essays related to Harvard Professor Michael J. Sandel s recent book, The Tyranny of Merit: What s Become of the Common Good?, which challenges the hubris a meritocracy generates among the winners and the harsh judgement it imposes on those left behind.
