WHO ARE WE?
The National Security Law Journal is a student-edited legal periodical published twice annually at Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University in Arlington, Virginia. We print timely scholarship that furthers the dynamic field of national security law, including topics relating to foreign affairs, intelligence, homeland security, and national defense. Digital versions of our full issues are available online. We welcome submissions from all points of view, by both academics and legal practitioners, provided that they make significant and original contributions to the field. Learn more about us.
Celebrating 10 years of NSLJ
In Spring 2023, the National Security Law Journal celebrates ten years of achievement: ten volumes; nineteen issues; ten successful transitions of leadership; thirty-six professional pieces; forty-five student notes and comments; three book reviews; and symposia featuring prominent scholars and government leaders – from the DoD’s Deputy General Counsel for Intelligence, to the former head of the CIA and NSA, and the former Attorney General of the United States. In recognition of all the remarkable people and effort that has made NSLJ what it is today, the tenth Editorial Board reached out to a few of our distinguished alumni to ask for their stories, their advice for our current members, and how the journal has affected their lives.
