| On March 10, 2002, the New York Law School faculty approved a new Law Review structure as set forth in a proposal authored by Professor Cameron Stracher and Associate Dean Stephen Ellmann. The highlights of the new structure included the merger of the three existing law journals (Journal of Human Rights, Journal of International and Comparative Law, and Law Review) and all their members into one new Law Review, and the linking of the Law Review to the five Academic Centers and the Harlan Scholars Honors Program. Students who are members of the new Law Review are now Harlan Scholars affiliated with one of the Law School five centers (the Justice Action Center, the Center for International Law, the Center for New York City Law, the Center for Professional Values and Practice, and the Institute for Information Law and Policy). |

| Although neither the Journal of Human Rights nor the Journal of International and Comparative Law will continue to publish independent volumes, the Law Review intends to publish special symposia issues dealing with topics of interest to readers of those journals. |

About the Journal of Human Rights
The New York Law School Journal of Human Rights was a scholarly publication dedicated to the preservation and extension of human rights through the legal system. First published in 1983, the Journal was founded to meet the growing need for a scholarly forum which solely addressed issues in the human rights field. The Journal continued a unique editorial policy of providing education and legal journalism which provided interdisciplinary information for legal practitioners in new and breaking areas of human rights law. The Journal strove to cover new legal issues and offered viable legal alternatives which developed rather than discussed law. |
