The Yale Law Journal

The Yale Law Journal is a student-run journal of legal scholarship affiliated with the Yale Law School. Published continuously since 1891, it is the most widely known of the eight law reviews published by students at Yale Law School. The journal is one of the most cited legal publications in the nation and usually generates the highest number of citations per published article.

The journal, which is published eight times per year, contains articles, essays, and book reviews by professional legal scholars as well as student-written notes and comments. It is edited entirely by students. The journal was the first to launch an online companion, The Pocket Part, which features op-ed length versions of journal articles and responses from leading practitioners, policymakers, and scholars, and also serves as a forum for the journal's readers and authors to discuss legal scholarship. In 2009, the journal announced that The Pocket Part would be integrated into a new online platform, The Yale Law Journal Online
