The Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy (JLPP) is the flagship law review of the Federalist Society. Established by Spencer Abraham and Stephen Eberhard in 1977 at Harvard Law School, it is one of the most widely circulated law reviews in the United States.[1][2]

History

In 1977, Harvard Law Students Spencer Abraham and Stephen Eberhard established the journal as a conservative and libertarian alternative against liberal publications on campus. It published the proceedings at the 1982 Yale Law School conference which would found the Federalist Society, and the journal became the organization's official publication.[3] Eberhard described the first volume of the journal as Vox clamantis in deserto (Latin: "a voice crying out in the wilderness").[4]

In the October term of 2018, the Journal was cited in the 5th most Supreme Court opinions, finishing ahead of flagship journals such as the Yale Law Journal and the Stanford Law Review.[5]

In August 2021, the Journal debuted an online counterpart to the print journal titled JLPP: Per Curiam. Because of the lack of restrictions from the strict print publication schedule of the physical journal, the online portion allows for commentary on current and pressing issues.[6][7][8]
