The Sea Grant Law and Policy Journal will provide a forum for the timely discussion and exploration of legal topics of relevance to the Sea Grant network of extension agents, researchers, coastal managers and users, and local decision-makers. The Journal will feature concise, 30 – 35 page, articles on a range of subjects including fisheries, coastal development, coastal access, and pollution. Unlike traditional law reviews, the Journal will feature more applied research and case studies. Due to their timeliness and brevity, Sea Grant Law and Policy Journal articles will be of interest to anyone involved in coastal management, lawyer and non-lawyer alike.
The Journal is published on-line on a biannual basis and access will be free. Each spring, the National Sea Grant Law Center will sponsor a symposium and invite papers from academics and practitioners for publication in June. The fall issue, published in December, will feature law student articles submitted in response to a yearly request for papers. The Journal’s editorial board and outside experts, as needed, will review all articles prior to publication.
Stephanie Showalter, Director of the National Sea Grant Law Center and an adjunct faculty member of the University of Mississippi School of Law, serves as the Journal’s editor.
