The Yale Law Journal is a student-run law review affiliated with the Yale Law School. Published continuously since 1891, it is the most widely known of the eight law reviews published by students at Yale Law School. The journal is one of the most cited legal publications in the nation and usually generates the highest number of citations per published article.[1]
The journal, which is published eight times per year, contains articles, features, and book reviews by professional legal scholars as well as student-written notes and comments. It is edited entirely by students. The journal has an online companion, The Pocket Part, which features op-ed length versions of journal articles and responses from practitioners, policymakers, and scholars. In 2009, the journal announced that The Pocket Part would be integrated into a new online platform, The Yale Law Journal Online.
The Yale Law Journal, in conjunction with the Harvard Law Review, the Columbia Law Review, and the University of Pennsylvania Law Review, publishes the Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation, the most widely followed authority for legal citation formats in the United States.
Notable alumni
Past editors of the Yale Law Journal include prominent law professors (Akhil Amar, Ian Ayres, Stephen L. Carter, Alan Dershowitz, John Hart Ely, Dawn Johnsen, Randall Kennedy, Kris Kobach, Joseph Goldstein, and John Yoo), the deans of Harvard Law School (Martha Minow), Columbia Law School (David Schizer), Northwestern University School of Law (David E. Van Zandt, now the president of The New School), Michigan Law School (Evan Caminker), New York University School of Law (Richard Revesz), Washington and Lee University School of Law (Nora Demleitner), Georgetown Law Center (T. Alexander Aleinikoff) and Stanford Law School (Bayless Manning),[2] political figures (journalists Michael Barone and Jeff Greenfield, former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich, Senator Arlen Specter, Senator Michael Bennet, Senator Richard Blumenthal), Supreme Court justices (Abe Fortas, Samuel Alito, Sonia Sotomayor), and other judges (Guido Calabresi, Steven M. Colloton, Robert Katzmann, Brett Kavanaugh, Sidney Stein).
Admissions
The journal holds a two-part admissions competition each spring, consisting of a "bluebooking exam" followed by a traditional writing competition. The general membership of the Journal determines the size of each incoming class of editors. Students may also join the staff if they publish a note in the journal. Due to the relatively small size of Yale Law School, a higher percentage of the student body is a member of the journal than at other top-tier law schools.
