The Journal of Shia Law Studies is an esteemed academic publication established in 2026 by Meybod University. Dedicated to advancing the understanding and application of Shia legal thought, the journal serves as a premier platform for scholarly discourse on all aspects of law from a Shia perspective.
We aim to foster rigorous academic inquiry by publishing high-quality, original research articles that contribute significantly to the field of Shia legal studies. Our scope is comprehensive, encompassing a wide array of legal topics, thereby encouraging interdisciplinary and comparative approaches to understanding Islamic jurisprudence.
The Journal is committed to upholding the highest standards of academic integrity through a stringent double-blind peer review process, ensuring the validity and originality of all published content. We accept submissions exclusively in English to facilitate global engagement and scholarly exchange.
The Journal of Shia Law Studies is published annually and operates under an Open Access model, making valuable research freely accessible to a worldwide audience. We are pleased to confirm that there are no article processing charges (APCs) or submission fees for authors.
While currently focusing on building a strong foundation, we are actively working towards indexing in leading international academic databases to enhance the visibility and impact of the research we publish. We look forward to becoming a significant resource for scholars, legal practitioners, and students interested in the rich and evolving domain of Shia law.
