Journal of Law, Economics & Policy

JLEP is the first student-run journal of law and economics in legal academia. The Journal represents a unique undertaking.

It is the first student-run journal of law and economics in legal academia. The journal serves as an outlet for the experience and interests of George Mason law students, including our Levy Fellows, who are economics Ph.D.’s currently working on their J.D.’s. Most important, it is structured as a cooperative journal. Although student-edited, the journal is peer-reviewed, ensuring that the publishe

d articles are of the highest quality. One issue each year will be devoted to specialized symposia bearing on important questions of legal and economic policy. The second annual issue will be a peer-reviewed compendium of articles submitted by individual authors. The focus will be on the legal side of law and economics, an approach that we hope will de-emphasize technical mathematics while providing readers with greater access to economic insights about legal and policy issues.

⚖️ A century ago, Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes warned that if property regulations go “too far,” they might be considered a “taking.” Fast forward to today, and this issue is more relevant than ever as governments push limits and courts grapple with what “too far” really means.

Join us and Pacific Legal Foundation on October 4th for a day-long symposium exploring property rights and regulatory takings.

Look forward to engaging presentations, a keynote lunch with the Honorable Janice Rogers Brown, and a networking reception with peers dedicated to addressing property regulation issues.
