Established in the spring of 2011, The Mental Health Law & Policy Journal is the first law review styled journal in the United States to specialize in mental health law and policy.  Advanced law students and graduate students from a variety of disciplines relevant to mental health comprise the Journal.  Articles published in the Journal are student edited, but must also pass a thorough peer-review process conducted by established scholars from across the nation.  The Journal is staffed by approximately 40 law and graduate students.  

The objective of the Journal is to provide a unique scholarly publication dedicated to mental health law and policy that will foster dialogue and debate on a wide range of critical issues that have often gone under-addressed in the law.
