Talk:Harvard Law & Policy Review

Untitled edit

ACS and HLPR are related, but they are entirely separate organizations. ACS is an advocacy group run primarily by lawyers and professors (see http://www.acslaw.org/about and http://www.acslaw.org/about/leadership) while HLPR is a legal journal, edited by law students (see http://www.hlpronline.com/about). The organizations do completely different things -- advocacy and events versus publication of legal scholarship -- and are run by completely different people, although ACS does provide funding to HLPR. Surely, the fact that HLPR is "already mentioned at American Constitution Society" does not make the pages redundant; after all, nearly every wikipedia article is mentioned in some other article, and many articles coexist even though their content is somewhat related. Finally, there is clear precedent for maintaining separate pages. The Federalist Society, an advocacy organization similar to ACS, is affiliated with a legal journal called the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy. However, the society and the journal appropriately have separate pages.
