Founded in April 2009, the American University National Security Law Brief (NSLB) is the nation’s first student-run law school publication to focus on the ever-growing field of national security law. This student-run brief is a biannual print publication and daily blog devoted to examining the legal dimensions of United States national security policy. In addition to analyzing traditional security issues such as counterterrorism, intelligence collection, and nuclear proliferation, the NSLB also will examine legal matters related to soft power and cybersecurity.
The NSLB’s inaugural print issue will be released in the Summer of 2010, and will contain national security law articles written by accomplished professors and practitioners, as well as analytical pieces written by current students at American University’s Washington College of Law. The initial issue will highlight a number of critical topics in national security law; accordingly, we look forward to an enthusiastic reception. It is our hope that the first issue generates vigorous and constructive debate in the field.
The NSLB welcomes numerous points of view on national security law issues and encourages students, academics, and practitioners to submit feedback and articles for submission. Given its location in Washington, DC and its growing relationship with the legal community, we feel that the NSLB will serve as an ideal platform for new ideas in national security law. To submit an article for consideration, please email contact@nationalsecuritylawbrief.com.
