Recent times have reminded us... that when we talk of civil liberties we are discussing civil rights, that when we deal effectively with civil rights we must deal courageously with economic misery.... [T]he legal profession surely needs a journal that will be devoted to the alert examination, the critical consideration, and constructive proposal of efforts to make law an effective instrument for advancing the personal freedoms and the human dignities of the American people.
––Mark De Wolfe Howe, Vol. 1, CR-CL (1966)
The Harvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review (CR-CL) is the nation's leading progressive law journal. Founded in 1966 as an instrument to advance personal freedoms and human dignities, CR-CL seeks to catalyze progressive thought and dialogue through publishing innovative legal scholarship and from various perspectives and in diverse fields of study.
In recent years CR-CL has published articles by professors, practitioners, and students on varied topics including zoning the homeless, political lawyering, and the right to revolution. These and other subjects continue to be some of the most exciting and rapidly developing areas of the law, and we believe that the dialogue provided by CR-CL and other progressive journals will help to shape the future.
We welcome submissions of manuscripts, as well as ideas for comments and articles.
We regret that CR-CL cannot provide legal advice or referrals. For information on Harvard University admissions, please click here.
