An Invitation


The goal of the Harvard Law & Policy Review, and its companion site hlpronline.com, is clear: to foster innovative approaches to resolving legal and policy problems by providing a credible and prominent forum for substantive debate between progressive legal scholars, policymakers, and practitioners. Of course the devil is in the details. As we launch the journal and the site, what do you hope to see from the official journal of the American Constitution Society? Join the public discussion here.

As a 2l in a non-traditional program in California I am frankly looking for some of the affiliative benefits absent in my school. If hlpronline offers a chance to engage others and helps me thereby to hone my own thinking and presentation then it will be all I could hope for and more. I recently joined the ACS as a student member on the strength of mentions at Professor Balkin's blog and on seeing ACS in google results for Professor Lederman; seeing the launch of hlpronline seems a fine affirmation of that choice. I look forward to seeing hlpronline grow.

I feel a particular sense of pride as I observe the successful launch of HLPR -- having been BOTH a founding officer of the Stanford Law School chapter of ACS AND president of the Stanford Law & Policy Review. It is incumbent upon the great legal minds of today and tomorrow to counter conservatives' hijacking of our institutions of government and academia; to propose innovative new solutions in an era of rapid technological advancement, globalization, and population growth; and to translate lofty concepts into real-life practical policies for the betterment of our nation and world. And, as if these weren't heavy enough responsibilities, we must do all this with an eye toward protecting a Constitution under siege, defending civil liberties, and expanding opportunities for all. The creation of HLPR is one significant step toward these goals, and I welcome its contributions to the debate.
