The new peer-reviewed Journal of Law and Courts (JLC) has published its first issue.  JLC aims to be the premier journal for members of the law and courts intellectual community in terms of the quality and scope of articles, and in terms of the size and diversity of audience.  Sponsored by the American Political Science Association but published for all scholars interested in legal institutions, actors, processes, and policy, JLC is interdisciplinary and wide-ranging in substance.  IJPM Director Keith Bybee serves as part of the JLC editorial team.
