Welcome to JLEPP: In Limine!

Welcome to Notre Dame Journal of Law, Ethics & Public Policy: In Limine, a new publication from ND JLEPP.

In Limine (Latin for “at the threshold”) is JLEPP’s space for shorter, more regular articles. We picked the name because the shorter works we will publish here will be at the threshold, so to speak, of the longer works that we publish in our Online Supplement and the more editorial commentary found on many blogs.

We decided to launch In Limine because some issues simply move faster than full-length publication permits. While existing digital publications can ameliorate that to some degree, many lack the cited, well-researched, scholarly character that important legal issues deserve. And how many law firm explainers examine the moral dimensions of legal developments, or delve into the theory and morality of legal practice?

You will find that and more in In Limine. The articles below cover a wide range of legal issues related to the Journal’s areas of focus. We prioritize a consistent dedication to our Judeo-Christian principles. We have published scholarship from promising students, established experts, and jurists alike. Read more below.

To learn more about the mission of In Limine, read this article from Declan Hurley and Jack Manning, our editor-in-chief and digital editor, respectively.

In Limine is currently accepting submissions! We consider works under 5,000 words related to JLEPP‘s areas of focus. Text and footnotes should conform to The Bluebook (22nd ed.) and The Chicago Manual of Style (18th ed.). Articles are considered on a rolling basis. Please contact managing editor Tommy Schacht (tschacht@nd.edu) with submissions.
