Abstract: Launched in 1964, the Harvard Journal on Legislation built on an already vibrant student practice providing research and drafting to support state and federal legislative initiatives in the United States. Dean Erwin Griswold commended this work and supported the creation of the Journal to offer the work in a form more permanent than mimeographed copies and to create a forum offering resources to all concerned with legislative drafting and legislative thought in any area. In the intervening fifty years, the Harvard Journal on Legislation has ably achieved these goals and more. Adapted from the source document.
