《法学》是由华东政法大学主办的一本中文法律类期刊，是全国为数不多的法律理论类月刊，它创刊于1956年。创刊之始《法学》便以关注社会，面向实际，理论创新、推进法治为宗旨，发表了一系列在当时较有影响的法学文章，从而以其善于及时反映学术热点而赢得广大学者的喜爱。然而，不幸的是，由于众所周知的原因，《法学》在1958年便被停刊了,一停就22年。党的十一届三中全会以后，在党和政府的关心下，1980年《法学》得以重新恢复。复刊后《法学》的宗旨不变以其崭新的姿态体现出新时期中国法学的勃勃生机，它以“短、平、快”，“麻、辣、烫”的风格占据着中国法学界的一席之地，得到广大读者的关注与认可，时下《法学》发行量位据全国法学类理论刊物之首，它还是美国、英国等国会图书馆收藏的中国为数不多的法学刊物之一。新世纪的《法学》正以崭新的面貌走向未来。目前的《法学》相继被武汉大学中国科学评价研究中心发布的《中国学术期刊评价研究报告》和中国社会科学院中国社会科学评价中心发布的《中国人文社会科学期刊评价报告（2014年）》评价为“权威期刊”，《法学》还是《中文核心期刊（法律类）”、“全国百强社科学报”、“中国人文社科学报核心期刊”、“《中国学术期刊综合评价数据库》来源期刊”、“《中国期刊网》、《中国学术期刊（光盘版）》全文收录期刊”、“《中文社会科学引文索引》来源期刊”。
