The Journal of Law, Economics & Policy is an independent, peer-edited law journal run by students at the Antonin Scalia Law School of George Mason University. Founded in 2002, the journal covers the eponymous fields of law, economics, and policy.[1] The journal usually publishes two to four issues per year, with one of those issues dedicated to annual symposia and one issue dedicated to student submissions. The journal accepts manuscripts throughout the year on its Scholastica website.[2] The Journal is the first student-run journal of law and economics in legal academia.[3]

Membership
editLike most American legal journals, candidate membership on the Journal is granted through a competitive process. First-year students must participate in a Write-On competition after completing their final exams in the spring semester. The Journal then considers the student's first-year grades, resume, and performance in the write on to make offers of membership.[6] Full membership is granted upon finishing a comment and spading an article to be published.
