The Journal of Legislation is a scholarly journal published by Notre Dame Law School.
The Journal of Legislation is a legislative law review which focuses on analysis and reform of legislation and public policy. [1] It was founded in 1971 as New Dimensions in Legislation, [2] before being renamed as N.D. Journal of Legislation [3] in 1974 and finally just Journal of Legislation in 1976. [4] The Journal is advised by Faculty Advisors William Kelley and Lloyd Hitoshi Mayer. [5]
The Journal typically publishes two issues every year, with each issue usually comprising two to three articles from independent contributors on legislation or policy, and three to four staff-written notes. Occasionally, it also publishes briefer commentaries on legislative articles that have appeared in previous or concurrent issues. The Journal is financially self-sufficient, independently organized and completely student-run. [1]
