# Yale Law & Policy Review

The Yale Law & Policy Review (YLPR) is a biannual student-run law review founded in 1982 at the Yale Law School. YLPR publishes scholarship at the intersection of law and policy authored by lawmakers, judges, practitioners, academics, and students. YLPR also publishes shorter, timely pieces on its online forum, Inter Alia.
Past contributors include Supreme Court Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, John Paul Stevens, and Clarence Thomas; President Bill Clinton; Vice President Al Gore; Secretaries of State Hillary Clinton and Cyrus Vance; Senators Bill Bradley, Chris Coons, Tom Daschle John Edwards, Bill Frist, Ted Kennedy, Frank Lautenberg, Joe Lieberman, Arlen Specter, and Tom Udall; Governor Michael Dukakis, Ambassador John Negroponte; and Professors Richard Epstein, Harold Koh, Robert Post, and Cass Sunstein. The 2007 ExpressO Guide to Top Law Reviews ranked the journal first among law and society law reviews based on the number of manuscripts received.
