The Brandeis University Law Journal, founded in 2008 by Judah Marans ’11, is the only undergraduate-edited legal publication in the country that is unaffiliated with a law school. We solicit, edit, and publish the work of Brandeis students. Our articles cover a diverse array of topics with a shared grounding in law and law-related material.
The Brandeis University Law Journal is run by and focused on undergraduates. We produce original, rigorously researched papers on a variety of legal topics.
