About The People’s Law Review
The People’s Law Review is an independent legal journal and investigative platform dedicated to exposing systemic injustice, empowering self-represented litigants, and restoring the public’s understanding of their rights under the law.
We exist because too many Americans have been denied access to justice—not just by a lack of legal representation, but by a legal system that increasingly prioritizes procedure over fairness, profit over protection, and silence over scrutiny.
We publish serious, evidence-based legal writing for a public audience. Our contributors include pro se litigants, legal advocates, reform-minded attorneys, investigative journalists, and system survivors who bring firsthand experience and hard-won knowledge. Our work is not just theoretical—it’s tactical, grounded, and unapologetically people-centered.
Our Mission
- To expose the administrative and judicial systems that operate without accountability
- To educate the public about their legal rights, court procedures, and due process violations
- To amplify the voices of litigants who are often erased by the legal system
- To challenge the status quo in family courts, CPS, ADA enforcement, and Title IV programs
- To build a new model of legal journalism and civic scholarship—one that empowers citizens to defend themselves and demand reform
What Makes Us Different
We are not funded by law schools or government grants. We are not beholden to bar associations or private court vendors. We are not afraid to name names or question the structure of the system itself.
Most importantly, we do not assume that legal knowledge belongs only to the credentialed. Our pages are open to those who’ve lived it, not just those who’ve studied it.
What We Cover
- Family court abuse, custody injustice, and parental alienation
- ADA and disability rights violations in courtrooms
- Title IV-D and IV-E financial incentives and their impact on families
- Administrative “courts” and due process violations
- Pro se litigation strategies, reform toolkits, and model motions
- Judicial conflicts of interest, oversight failures, and misconduct patterns

Who We Serve
- Parents fighting for their children in hostile courtrooms
- Disabled individuals denied accommodations or legal protection
- Self-represented litigants navigating complex procedures alone
- Investigators, whistleblowers, and watchdogs seeking truth and accountability
- Anyone who refuses to be silenced by bureaucracy, intimidation, or injustice
Our Vision
We envision a legal system where every person—not just every lawyer—has the power to understand, assert, and defend their rights.
We are building a movement. Not just a publication.
