Yale Law & Policy Review is a student-edited legal journal based at Yale Law School that publishes scholarship at the intersection of law and public policy. The journal has hosted articles by judges, scholars, and policymakers linked to institutions such as United States Supreme Court, United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, United States Department of Justice, American Civil Liberties Union, and Human Rights Watch. Its contributors have included figures associated with Harvard Law School, Stanford Law School, Columbia Law School, University of Chicago Law School, and Princeton University.
The journal was founded in 1982 amid debates involving actors from Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court of the United States, Reagan administration, Georgetown University, Brookings Institution, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and Rand Corporation. Early issues featured contributions by jurists with ties to the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, scholars from Yale Law School and University of Pennsylvania Law School, and analysts affiliated with Council on Foreign Relations and American Enterprise Institute. Over time the Review published work intersecting with events including the Iran–Contra affair, North American Free Trade Agreement, September 11 attacks, Affordable Care Act, and debates around the Patriot Act.
The journal's remit emphasizes legal scholarship connecting to policy debates involving institutions like the United Nations, World Bank, International Monetary Fund, European Court of Human Rights, and Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. It solicits submissions addressing issues raised by the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Voting Rights Act of 1965, Clean Air Act, Administrative Procedure Act, and adjudication in forums such as the International Court of Justice and International Criminal Court. Contributors often analyze litigation before the Supreme Court of the United States, regulatory action by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and policymaking in bodies like the United States Congress and United Nations Security Council.
The Review publishes two issues annually, featuring symposia, articles, essays, and responses by academics and practitioners affiliated with organizations such as Federal Trade Commission, Environmental Protection Agency, National Labor Relations Board, and Federal Communications Commission. Its editorial process mirrors other student-edited journals at institutions like Yale Law School, Harvard Law Review, Columbia Law Review, and Stanford Law Review, with selection informed by peer reviewers including scholars from New York University School of Law, Michigan Law School, and Duke University School of Law. Past symposia have convened panelists from Supreme Court Historical Society, Brennan Center for Justice, American Bar Association, and International Bar Association.
The Review has published influential pieces by judges and scholars connected to the United States Supreme Court and academics from Oxford University, Cambridge University, Yale Law School, Harvard Law School, and University of Chicago. Topics have spanned constitutional questions implicated in Brown v. Board of Education, administrative law debates recalling Chevron U.S.A., Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc., international law analyses referencing Nuremberg Trials, and criminal justice reform discussions invoking reports by Sentencing Project and American Civil Liberties Union. Its articles have been cited by jurists in opinions from the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, referenced in hearings before the United States Senate Judiciary Committee, and used by advocates at Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International.
The journal is organized by student editors who coordinate with faculty advisors from Yale Law School and visiting scholars associated with Harvard Kennedy School, Woodrow Wilson School, Fletcher School, and think tanks including the Brookings Institution and Center for American Progress. Leadership roles mirror editorial structures found at Harvard Law Review and University of Pennsylvania Law Review, with boards that have included future clerks to justices of the Supreme Court of the United States, fellows from Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society, and attorneys from firms such as Covington & Burling, Ropes & Gray, and WilmerHale.
The Review has received recognition in academic surveys and legal indices alongside journals like Yale Law Journal, Harvard Law Review, The Yale Journal of International Law, and Columbia Journal of Transnational Law. Articles have won prizes from entities including the American Bar Association, American Society of International Law, and the Association of American Law Schools, and have been shortlisted for awards granted by the Supreme Court Historical Society and the Richard A. Posner Prize.
Back issues and current content are archived and indexed in major legal and bibliographic services comparable to HeinOnline, Westlaw, LexisNexis, JSTOR, and Google Scholar.
