The Journal of Law & Civil Governance at Texas A&M is an independent student publication that serves as 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 explores 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, economics, life, and religious liberty. Through these publications, the Journal seeks to connect top law students with jurists, scholars, and elected officials across the nation in a common mission to advance the rule of law and develop our nation's future leaders.
