"Justice is the first virtue of social institutions, as truth is of systems of thought."  John Rawls, A Theory of Justice (revised edn, Boston MA: Harvard University Press, 1999), p. 3

The International Society for Justice Research (ISJR) fosters productive discussions of new ideas, research, and theories relevant to justice phenomena. We are a group of scholars who encourage international and interdisciplinary cooperation in developing justice theory and research. The exchange and dissemination of this scientific information and creation of scientific networks is allowed by the conduct of biennial ISJR scientific conferences, publication of articles and book reviews in the Social Justice Research journal, publication of announcements and updates of interest in the ISJR Newsletter and informal discussions (by means of a Listserv) among eminent justice scholars from around the world and representing different disciplines.

We invite all scholars who are interested in justice-related issues, or some other related area of research, to join the International Society for Justice Research and get involved in the Society's activities.

Dr. Michael Wenzel, of Flinders University, has been elected the 7th
President of the International Society for Justice Research (ISJR) for
2012-2014. Following a year of service as President-elect, Michael will
assume his office at the upcoming ISJR conference in Rishon LeZion, Israel,
