PJILS approaches Islamic law both as a normative and doctrinal tradition and as a living legal phenomenon shaped by social change, state institutions, customary practices, political processes, and contemporary debates about justice. The journal seeks to connect Islamic legal scholarship with broader developments in law and society.
Particular attention is given to Indonesia and Southeast Asia, while the journal also welcomes studies from other jurisdictions and Muslim societies worldwide. Comparative, transnational, socio-legal, historical, anthropological, doctrinal, and interdisciplinary studies are strongly encouraged.
PJILS is published by the Pakungwati Institute for Social Transformation and Justice, under Yayasan Pawiyatan Pakungwati Cirebon, Indonesia. The journal is intended to serve as an academic platform for critical, rigorous, and socially relevant scholarship at the intersection of Islamic law, society, justice, and legal transformation.
