TheHarvard Journal on Legislation is a journal of legal scholarship published by students atHarvard Law School.
TheHarvard Journal on Legislation publishes articles analyzing legislation and the legislative process. TheJournal specializes in articles focusing on the organizational and procedural factors affecting the efficiency and effectiveness of legislative decisionmaking. In particular, theJournal aims to publish articles that address legislative reform or that examine public policy problems of nationwide significance and propose legislation to resolve such problems. Articles are written by leading academics and practitioners, as well as by Harvard Law School students. TheJournal's biannual Congress Issue includes policy essays written by sitting members of theU.S. Congress.[1] TheJournal is generally ranked among the top 50 most influential student-edited law journals.[2]
TheHarvard Journal on Legislation is published semiannually (Winter and Summer) by Harvard Law School students. Additionally, theJournal holds an annual Symposium featuring discussion of a policy issue of national significance.[3]
Student editors need not participate in a competition to join theJournal, though seniorJournal editors are selected largely through an application and interviewing process. Upper-level masthead positions are filled by election.
TheHarvard Journal on Legislation maintains an office on the Harvard Law School campus in Wasserstein Hall.
TheHarvard Journal on Legislation published its first issue in 1964. TheJournal—along with theHarvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review and theHarvard International Law Journal—was founded by Harvard Law School DeanErwin N. Griswold to provide students who were not members of theHarvard Law Review with an opportunity to gain similar writing and editing experience.[4] TheHarvard Journal on Legislation was originally affiliated with the Harvard Student Legislative Research Bureau at Harvard Law School. In addition to printing articles written on legislative matters by academics, attorneys in private practice, and government officials, theJournal published draft statutes and accompanying analyses prepared by student members of the Harvard Student Legislative Research Bureau.[5]
By 1969, theJournal had expanded beyond the Legislative Research Bureau to become "a full-scale law review operation."[6] It also became the first of the Harvard Law School Journals to accept first-year students as members of its staff.[7]
