The Bill of Rights Journal, edited and operated by students of the College of William & Mary Marshall-Wythe School of Law, is a scholarly publication of professional and student articles. The Journal publishes four issues per year: October, December, February, and April.
As the moniker suggests, the Journal is dedicated to the exploration of matters pertinent to the Bill of Rights and the United State Constitution. The Journal embraces a broad view of this mandate, encompassing nearly all constitutional and individual rights issues, nationally and globally. The Journal is a forum for students, professionals, and practitioners. Academicians, lawyers, historians, journalists, government officials, sociologists, political scientists, economists, philosophers, and experts in other fields are encouraged to submit articles.
The Journal serves several functions. First, articles and student notes analyze new law and examine changes in old law. These works generate discussion and challenge existing law. Second, the Journal serves as a practical research tool for judges, lawyers, and students. Third, the members of the Journal receive an enriched education as a result of the legal research and critical analysis that they perform.
