The St. John's
Journal of Legal Commentary ("JLC") has been a journal of
general legal significance for twenty-two years. Over the years,
JLC has enjoyed publishing articles on a wide array of legal topics
and concerns. Recently, the journal has made the decision to adopt
a more exacting focus on contemporary legal issues.
That is why JLC is pleased to announce that it has become the
official publication of the Ronald H. Brown
Center for Civil Rights and Economic Development. The
Ronald H. Brown Center’s mission is to engage in legal studies,
research and outreach focusing on issues that affect the lives of
underrepresented people while simultaneously educating law students
to be leaders on issues of racial, economic and social justice.
Thus, in the future, JLC will focus its articles on the broad
topics of racial, economic and social justice. JLC looks forward to
working with inaugural Director of the Ronald H. Brown Center,
Professor of Law Leonard M.
Baynes. Thanks to all of JLC’s alumni for their long-standing
and continuing support.
