History

edit

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]
