Emory University School of Law on April 5 marked the 40th anniversary of the Feminism and Legal Theory Project with a day of panels featuring international and U.S. feminism legal theorists, and the dedication of the FLT archive in the library.

The project for 40 years has centered around an interdisciplinary examination of the interaction between law and culture and how they shape "expectations, policies and practices related to gender," according to the organizers. Issues studied also include age, race, class, ability and sexuality.

The Feminism and Legal Theory Project, was started by Martha A. Fineman in 1984, then moved to Emory University when Fineman joined the Emory University School of Law 20 years later.
