L6622 COLUMBIA JOURNAL OF EUROPEAN LAW (0 pts)
The Columbia Journal of European Law (CJEL) is published under the auspices of the Columbia University School of Law and the Parker School of Foreign and Comparative Law, in cooperation with the Institute for European Law of the Katholieke Universiteit in Leuven, Belgium. It is intended primarily to respond to the growth of interest in European law among Americans. While giving priority to the analysis of legal documents at the European Community and European Union level, the CJEL actively encourages contributions exploring any dimension of European law, including those at the national or regional levels, as well as those relevant to broader questions of the development of law and legal institutions in Europe as a whole. We further seek to present articles, whether authored by Americans, Europeans, or scholars from other parts of the world, that bring special comparative, historical, and political perspectives to bear on the issues under discussion.

L6665 NATIONAL BLACK LAW JOURNAL (0 pts)
The National Black Law Journal has been committed to scholarly discourse exploring the intersection of race and the law for more than 3 decades. We continue to build on this tradition by publishing articles that address the social features, policy implications, and political dimensions of legal issues surrounding race and minority group status. The journal provides a forum for scholars, students, practitioners, and activists interested in the interconnections between race and law and supports those works that are both critical of and marginalized within mainstream legal discourse. Although we seek to publish articles that represent broad and varied perspectives, we are also concerned that these articles inspire original thought, explore new alternatives, and contribute to current jurisprudential stances.
