An Introduction

Launched as The Dartmouth College Undergraduate Journal of Law in the winter of 2003 by two Daniel Webster Legal Society Interns, Meg Thering '05 and Joshua Marcuse '04, The Dartmouth Journal of Law provides students and faculty with a public forum for law-related ideas and discussion. In addition to publishing top undergraduate, graduate, and faculty-submitted scholarship, the Journal provides its contributors with a collaborative editorial process designed to help improve and refine their work. As a condition of article acceptance, contributors are asked to work closely with our editors throughout the revision process, re-examining and polishing their work for a broad readership. We accept articles from national and international undergraduate and graduate students as well as faculty members. Our submissions address a diverse array of law-related questions and ideas.

Mission Statement

The Dartmouth Law Journal is an exclusively student-run publication devoted to the discussion and celebration of the Law and related subjects. We, the editors, seek to promote interest in the field of law, to encourage undergraduate and graduate scholarly research, to provide a forum for intellectual debate, to increase the student body's awareness and appreciation of legal issues, and to make a contribution to the intellectual life of the undergraduate community.

The Dartmouth Law Journal and Beyond

Students at Dartmouth are engaged in an extraordinarily high level of undergraduate scholarship in a wide variety of law-related fields. We created this journal to give students an opportunity to share these ideas. The response from students has been overwhelmingly positive.

• Our purpose is an intellectual endeavor in keeping with the finest extracurricular traditions of Dartmouth College. What we do enriches the academic and extracurricular opportunities available to both Dartmouth students and students around the country.
• DJL is open to anyone who wants to participate. We are fully coeducational, with an even number of men and women in positions of leadership. Our staff is drawn from students of all classes, and we accept articles from all academic institutions in the United States and abroad.

The Dartmouth Law Journal welcomes submissions of articles, research papers, essays and editorials related to law, and, when appropriate, intersecting subjects such as philosophy, economics, sociology, history and political science.

All articles accepted may be edited for clarity, content and length.
