The Tulane Law Review, a publication of the Tulane University Law School, was founded in 1916, and is currently published five times annually. [1] The Law Review has an international circulation, and is one of few American law reviews carried by law libraries in the United Kingdom. [2]
The Law Review was started as the Southern Law Quarterly [3] by Rufus Carrollton Harris, the school's twelfth dean. [4] Charles E. Dunbar, Jr., the civil service reformer who became a Tulane law professor, served on the board of advisory editors of the Tulane Law Review from its inception until his death in 1959. [5]
A 1937 Time magazine about Rufus Harris describes the Tulane Law Review as "nationally famed". [4]
The Law Review was most recently cited by the United States Supreme Court on April 27, 2010. [6]
Membership of the Tulane Law Review is conferred upon Tulane law students who have "outstanding scholastic records or demonstrated ability in legal research and writing". [7] Specifically, membership is chosen based on a student's law school grades and/or performance in an annual anonymous writing competition.

The doctrine of nondelegation is the theory that one branch of government must not authorize another entity to exercise the power or function which it is constitutionally authorized to exercise itself. It is explicit or implicit in all written constitutions that impose a strict structural separation of powers. It is usually applied in questions of constitutionally improper delegations of powers of any of the three branches of government to either of the other, to the administrative state, or to private entities. Although it is usually constitutional for executive officials to delegate executive powers to executive branch subordinates, there can also be improper delegations of powers within an executive branch.

Gundy v. United States, No. 17-6086, 588 U.S. ___ (2019), was a United States Supreme Court case that held that 42 U.S.C. § 16913(d), part of the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act ("SORNA"), does not violate the nondelegation doctrine. The section of the SORNA allows the Attorney General to "specify the applicability" of the mandatory registration requirements of "sex offenders convicted before the enactment of [SORNA]". Precedent is that it is only constitutional for Congress to delegate legislative power to the executive branch if it provides an "intelligible principle" as guidance. The outcome of the case could have greatly influenced the broad delegations of power Congress has made to the federal executive branch, but it did not.
