Ohio State Law Journal is a student-edited legal periodical published at the Morris W. and Alma Schottenstein Center for Constitutional Law at the Moritz College of Law of The Ohio State University. The Journal publishes scholarship by judges, scholars, and practitioners from institutions such as the United States Supreme Court, the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, and law schools including Harvard Law School, Yale Law School, Stanford Law School, Columbia Law School. It has hosted authors affiliated with the American Bar Association, the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice (United States), and state high courts including the Ohio Supreme Court.
The Journal traces origins to student periodicals at The Ohio State University in the late 1930s and formally organized during the era of legal expansion shaped by events such as the New Deal and the aftermath of the Great Depression. Early issues engaged with cases decided by the United States Supreme Court and state appellate courts such as the Ohio Court of Appeals. Over decades the Journal reflected shifts following landmark developments like the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Miranda v. Arizona decision, and regulatory changes under the Securities and Exchange Commission. Its editorial board evolved amid broader transformations in legal publishing influenced by organizations including the Association of American Law Schools and the American Association of Law Libraries.
The Journal covers a wide array of topics, routinely publishing on constitutional disputes involving the First Amendment, Fourteenth Amendment, and Commerce Clause litigation; administrative law matters implicating the Administrative Procedure Act and agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency and the Federal Communications Commission; criminal law and procedure debates tied to precedents like Gideon v. Wainwright and Katz v. United States; and corporate governance issues referencing statutes like the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and decisions from the Delaware Court of Chancery. Recent symposia and articles have addressed intellectual property controversies involving the United States Patent and Trademark Office, privacy questions raised by the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, and international law topics connected to the International Court of Justice and treaties such as the Geneva Conventions.
The Journal issues quarterly volumes managed by a student editorial board drawn from Moritz College of Law enrollment via competitive selection modeled on practices at institutions like Yale Law School and Harvard Law School. The board collaborates with faculty advisors from chairs at the Moritz College of Law and invites contributions from jurists serving on courts including the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio and appellate tribunals. Each issue contains essays, notes, comments, and book reviews; editorial processes reference citation norms established by the Bluebook and publication standards similar to those of the Columbia Law Review and Michigan Law Review.
The Journal organizes symposia and special issues that convene scholars from centers such as the Center for Constitutional Studies, practitioners from firms registered with the Ohio State Bar Association, and judges from panels like the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. Past symposia have focused on topics intersecting with events such as the September 11 attacks legal aftermath, health law debates around the Affordable Care Act, and technology law discussions involving companies regulated by the Federal Trade Commission and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration. Special issues have aggregated contributions addressing litigation trends before the United States Supreme Court and comparative law analyses drawing on institutions like the European Court of Human Rights.
The Journal has published pieces by prominent legal figures and scholars affiliated with institutions including the United States Supreme Court clerks, professors from Harvard Law School, Yale Law School, University of Chicago Law School, and practitioners from firms represented before the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. Notable contributors have included judges from the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, academics engaged with the Legal History community, and commentators who later served in executive posts at the Department of Justice (United States) or as commissioners at the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Journal has influenced litigation strategy in federal and state courts, citation by opinions of the United States Supreme Court, and scholarship at law faculties such as Columbia Law School and UCLA School of Law. Rankings produced by outlets that survey law reviews place the Journal among peer publications connected to public law schools and cite its symposium issues on subjects debated at the United States Senate and adjudicated in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The Journal’s alumni include clerks to justices of the United States Supreme Court, counsel at the Department of Justice (United States), and professors teaching at The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law and other institutions.
