Societas Law Review (SOLREV) is a peer-reviewed, open-access law journal published by Andalas Borneo Justice Publisher. Its Latin title names the society in which law must ultimately work, and it states the conviction that runs through the journal’s editorial policy: law is found not only in enacted text, but in the practices that are repeated until they bind, and in the change those practices produce in collective life. The journal publishes original research and conceptual analysis in the following fields: Islamic law, including its contemporary application, Islamic family law and the religious courts, sharia economics, and maqashid-based analysis of legal policy. Customary (adat) law and legal pluralism, including the standing of customary law communities, rights over territory and resources, custom-based dispute resolution, and the encounter between state law, customary law, and religious law. Legal philosophy and legal theory, including the foundations of legal validity, the relationship between law and morality, and theories of legal change. Constitutional law and the law of the state, including judicial review, the exercise of regional autonomy, public administration, and governance. Comparative law, with particular interest in comparison across Southeast Asian jurisdictions and between civil law, common law, and Islamic legal traditions. Human rights, including access to justice, the position of vulnerable groups before the law, and the protection of rights in borderland and resource-frontier settings. Law, environment, and society, including natural resource governance, the right to a healthy environment, legal awareness and legal culture, and the effectiveness of law in practice.

Focus and Scope

Societas Law Review is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal published by Andalas Borneo Justice Publisher. Grounded in the principle that law truly lives through social action and community norms rather than written codes alone, the journal serves as a platform for critical legal discourse. Operating from North Kalimantan, SOLREV places special emphasis on legal issues within borderlands, archipelagic territories, and the broader Southeast Asian region. Its scope encompasses key domains including Islamic law, customary (adat) law and legal pluralism, constitutional law, jurisprudence, comparative legal systems, human rights, and the intersection of environmental governance and society. The journal welcomes original research—whether doctrinal, empirical, socio-legal, or comparative—that connects legal theories to their real-world application.
