Founded in April 2009, the American University National Security Law Brief (NSLB) is the nation’s first student-run law school publication to focus on the ever-growing field of national security law. This student-run brief is a biannual print publication and daily blog devoted to examining the legal dimensions of United States national security policy. In addition to analyzing traditional security issues such as counterterrorism, intelligence collection, and nuclear proliferation, the NSLB also examines law dealing with the security dimensions of issues such as climate change, soft power, and cybersecurity. The NSLB’s inaugural print issue will be released in March 2010, and will contain national security law articles written by accomplished professors and practitioners, as well as shorter analytical pieces written by current students at American University’s Washington College of Law.
