Founded in 1982, the Yale Law & Policy Review (YLPR) is a semi-annual publication dedicated to publishing scholarly articles and essays by law professors, as well as timely policy proposals and legal analyses by judges, policymakers, and practitioners. In recent issues, YLPR authors have addressed a wide range of issues at the intersection of law and policy including government secrecy, health care reform, and preventing genocide.
YLPR regularly publishes pieces by law professors, practitioners, and interest group leaders. YLPR also publishes at least one Policy Essay per volume, written by judges and policy makers. Recent Policy Essays have been contributed by Senators Bill Frist and Tom Daschle as well as policy analysts Steven Aftergood and John Norris. In Volume 28, one practitioner and one legal academic will discuss voting law reform (Issue 1) and national intelligence after 2001 (Issue 2). The Policy Essays in Issue 1 are written by former Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell (with Kenneth Klukowski) and Ohio State law professor Daniel Tokaji. The Issue 2 contributors are former United Nations ambassador and Director of National Intelligence John Negroponte and St. John's law professor Brian Tamanaha.
