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.

Celebrating 10 years of nSLJ

This spring, 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.

Fall 2023 Symposium: The New Frontline: Is AI Friend or Foe?

October 26, 2023 | Registration now Open

The National Security Law Journal and National Security Institute at George Mason University’s Antonin Scalia Law School are excited to host two conversations focused on the national security implications of generative AI, including how the U.S. government is responding to and incorporating new technologies, as well as how lawmakers are thinking about AI and innovation laws and policies. 

Join us as we hear from experts who are both leading the critical discussions on emerging technologies occurring in policymaking circles and also developing and recommending innovative approaches for the U.S. government to adopt to ensure that the U.S. remains a technological and military leader.
