The William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal is ranked third in the nation among constitutional law journals and second among civil rights journals (Washington & Lee Law Library, 2017). Nationally-recognized, the Journal strives to deliver timely, unique, and important commentary in the constitutional law arena. Ranked 76th among all student-edited journals in the United States, the Supreme Court has cited the Journal twice in recent years. In 2010, Justice Sonia Sotomayor cited an article from our seventeenth volume in her dissenting opinion in Berguis v. Thompkins, No. 08-1470, slip op. at 22 (U.S. 2010) (Sotomayor J., dissenting). In the same year, Justice John Paul Stevens cited an article from our fifteenth volume in his dissenting opinion in Renico v. Lett., 130 S. Ct. 1855, 1866 n.4 (2010) (Stevens, J., dissenting). In 2012, the Ninth Circuit cited the Journal in its same-sex marriage decision, Perry v. Brown, 671 F.3d 1052, 1094 (9th Cir. 2012). The Journal is received by a vast majority of law schools, many state and federal courts, non-profit organizations, and more than five hundred constitutional law scholars. As staff members, second-year students undertake significant editing responsibilities. They also write a student Note on a constitutional law topic of their choice, with the possibility of being one of approximately eight Notes selected for publication in one of the Journal's four issues. The Journal strives to develop its members' editing, writing, leadership, and management skills and hopes to provide an invaluable academic experience.
