History
The Harvard Journal on Legislation published its first issue in 1964. The Journal—along with the Harvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review and the Harvard International Law Journal—was founded by Harvard Law School Dean Erwin N. Griswold to provide students who were not members of the Harvard Law Review with an opportunity to gain similar writing and editing experience.[4] The Harvard Journal on Legislation was originally affiliated with the Harvard Student Legislative Research Bureau at Harvard Law School. In addition to printing articles written on legislative matters by academics, attorneys in private practice, and government officials, the Journal published draft statutes and accompanying analyses prepared by student members of the Harvard Student Legislative Research Bureau.[5]
By 1969, the Journal had expanded beyond the Legislative Research Bureau to become "a full-scale law review operation."[6] It also became the first of the Harvard Law School Journals to accept first-year students as members of its staff.[7]
