On June 22, 2009, Robert C. Post (Note Editor, Vol. 86, 1977) was named Dean and Sol and Lillian Goldman Professor of Law at Yale Law School.  Professor Post, who has been the David Boies Professor of Law at Yale since 2003, is the seventh alumnus of The Yale Law Journal to become Dean of the Law School.  He becomes the sixteenth Dean of Yale Law School, succeeding Harold Hongju Koh, who now serves as Legal Adviser to the U.S. State Department. Kate Stith, Lafayette S. Foster Professor of Law, served as Acting Dean between March and July.

Alumni of The Yale Law Journal currently serve as deans of nearly twenty of the nation's leading law schools, including Harvard (Martha Minow, '79), New York University (Richard Revesz, '83), Columbia (David Schizer, '93), the University of Pennsylvania (Michael Fitts, '79), the University of Virginia (Paul Mahoney, '84), the University of Michigan (Evan Caminker, '86), and Georgetown (T. Alexander Aleinikoff, '77).

The Journal is now accepting submissions for Volume 119.  Submissions currently being accepted are Notes and Comments, Book Reviews & Features, and YLJ Online pieces. 

Please note that The Yale Law Journal is no longer accepting Article submissions for Volume 119. Please resubmit your work in January 2010 so that Volume 120 may consider it.

The Yale Law Journal is pleased to present its new online platform, The Yale Law Journal Online.  YLJ Online will continue the Journal's mission of providing accessible and substantive scholarship through the online medium.  It offers original essays on timely and novel legal developments and responses to articles in the print Journal, as well as adapted lectures and audiorecordings/podcasts of featured pieces.  When the Journal launched The Pocket Part in 2005, it was the first law review to establish an original online companion; YLJ Online represents the next step in that endeavor.

In conjunction with the release of the new online platform, YLJ Online co-sponsored a conference with the Yale Law School Supreme Court Advocacy Clinic on the Supreme Court's certiorari process.  "Important Questions of Federal Law: Assessing the Supreme Court's Case Selection Process" brought together a slate of participants that included Linda Greenhouse, the Hon. J. Harvie Wilkinson III, Seth Waxman, and Lyle Denniston at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. on September 18, 2009.  The conference's media coverage includes Law.com's article, here.

The launch of YLJ Online's original content section features an essay by Hiro N. Aragaki, addressing the Hall Street v. Mattel litigation and manifest disregard, as well as responses by scholars to Michael Stokes Paulsen's The Constitutional Power To Interpret International Law (118 Yale L.J. 1762 (2009)).  In the coming weeks, YLJ Online will present a variety of essays and features on marriage, property, and corporate law, as well as a selection of pieces from Judge Wilkinson and other participants in its Washington, D.C. conference.
