The Journal of Legislation is a scholarly legal journal published by Notre Dame Law School.

History

The Journal of Legislation is a legislative law review which focuses on analysis and reform of legislation and public policy. It was founded in 1971 as New Dimensions in Legislation, before being renamed as N.D. Journal of Legislation in 1974 and finally just Journal of Legislation in 1976. The journal is advised by faculty advisors William Kelley and Lloyd Hitoshi Mayer.

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.
