ON SEPTEMBER 8, the American Constitution Society announced the formation of its first official law journal, the Harvard Law & Policy Review. According to the letter, the new journal “will be a forum through which many esteemed legal scholars, advocates and policymakers will rigorously engage and discuss America’s most pressing legal and policy issues.”
The Harvard Law & Policy Review boasts that it will feature “rigorous debate and discussion” and “differing perspectives.” The first issue will include a point-counterpoint between Sen. Chuck Schumer and former federal judge Patricia Wald–a liberal Democratic senator squaring off against a liberal Democratic-appointed judge. If those perspectives don’t differ enough for you, fret not: other contributors listed by the ACS are former Clinton administration official Neil Kinkopf, former Clinton administration official Ron Klain, former Clinton administration official Elaine Kamarck, Harvard law professor (and liberal blogger) Elizabeth Warren, liberal law professor (and blogger) Geoffrey Stone, and liberal political scientist Jacob Hacker. The Harvard Law & Policy Review states, without a hint of irony, that “[t]his breadth of authors reflects our commitment to providing a platform to introduce and discuss new approaches to legal and policy issues.”
