Linha Editorial A temática sobre a qual se debruçam os autores desta Revista é bastante ampla, porém há de se ressaltar que a sua especificidade se verifica na abordagem das mudanças inscritas no Direito contemporâneo, nas práticas jurídicas, além das peculiaridades da atual sociedade de consumo, marcada pela acelerada exclusão, pelo individualismo exacerbado e, ao mesmo tempo, permeada pelo avançado desenvolvimento tecnológico. Por força da complexidade dessas transformações, a linha editorial da Revista incentiva uma abordagem transdisciplinar e crítica da temática proposta, a qual deverá criar condições para uma interlocução do discurso jurídico com os discursos sociológicos, filosóficos, historiográficos, economicistas, da ciência política e vice-versa. Da mesma forma, incentiva, por meio das resenhas, a divulgação de textos acadêmicos de relevância, por vezes inacessíveis a muitos por existirem apenas em língua estrangeira. Por fim, objetiva, ainda, apresentar projetos de textos que de programas, projetos e/ou experiências institucionais, ou decisões judiciais que contribuíram para a promoção do trabalho da Defensoria Pública, dos direitos humanos e do acesso à justiça.O periódico está aberto a publicar trabalhos acadêmicos de pesquisadores (as), graduados (as) e de profissionais nas áreas temáticas de interesse da Revista da DPU. Política de Seção Os trabalhos publicados na revista são divididos nas seguintes seções: Acesso à Justiça, Direitos Humanos, Defensoria Pública, Boas Práticas institucionais, Estudos de Caso, Resenhas e Seções Temáticas Especiais.
