The Harvard BlackLetter Law Journal is published annually by Harvard Law School students.

Editorial Policy: The Harvard BlackLetter Law Journal is committed to publishing manuscripts that critique traditional constitutionalism and promote civil rights. Specifically, the Journal focuses on legal issues of particular importance to African Americans and other status minorities. The Journal has adopted an interdisciplinary approach to the law and includes articles and essays addressing social and economic issues that affect the exercise of legal rights and privileges. We invite and respect provocative discussion spanning the entire ideological and political spectrum.

Submissions: The Journal welcomes the submission of manuscripts prepared by law school or other faculty, students, and practitioners. Manuscripts should be submitted in duplicate, typed, double-spaced, and with a diskette if possible. Footnotes should comply with A Uniform System of Citation (17th ed. 2000). Unpublished manuscripts will be returned only if accompanied by a self-addressed postage-paid envelope. All manuscript correspondence should be addressed to the Articles Editor at the address above. The Journal does not accept submissions via e-mail.

Permission to Copy: The articles in this issue may be reproduced and distributed, in whole or in part, by nonprofit institutions for educational purposes including distribution to students, provided that the copies are distributed at or below cost and identify the author, the Harvard BlackLetter Law Journal, the volume, the number of the first page, and the year of the article’s publication.
