Journal of Law & Civil Governance at Texas A&M

The Texas A&M Journal of Law & Civil Governance is a forum for the rigorous debate and discussion of leading policy issues. Drawing its inspiration from the well-known principle of classical theorist John Locke--"Where the law ends, tyranny begins"--the Journal seeks to explore this intersection between the law, government, and the flourishing of civil society. To that end, the Journal publishes conservative and libertarian scholarship on such issues as constitutional interpretation, federalism, civil liberties, criminal justice reform, economics, life, and religious liberty. Through these publications, the Journal seeks to connect top law students with jurists, scholars, elected officials, and legal experts across the nation in a common mission to advance the rule of law and develop our nation's future leaders. The Journal will publish two issues per year: one issue in the fall and one issue in the spring.
