The University of Pennsylvania Journal of Constitutional Law is a scholarly journal covering the interdisciplinary study and analysis of constitutional law. The Journal is published in print and electronically by an organization of second- and third-year J.D. students at the University of Pennsylvania Law School. It is one of the top three constitutional law journals and top fifty law journals in the United States based on citations and impact.[1] Additionally, it is the third most cited non-Law Review journal in the United States.[2] [3]

Articles published in the Journal have been cited by the U.S. Supreme Court, including Justice Anthony Kennedy in his dissent in Carpenter v. United States;[4] Justice Clarence Thomas in his concurrence in Town of Greece v. Galloway;[5] Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in her opinion in National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius;[6] and Chief Justice John Roberts in his dissent in Arizona State Legislature v. Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission.[7]

The Journal publishes six issues per volume, including an issue or issues devoted to its multi-day symposium. The journal is published in Philadelphia (home of the Liberty Bell, which is depicted on the journal's cover). Beginning with Volume 15, the University of Pennsylvania Journal of Constitutional Law Online (JCL Online) became the official online companion edition to the Journal.[8] JCL Online is committed to publishing short, timely articles, usually responding to new legal developments or novel issues.[9] The current editor-in-chief is Katherine McKeen.

Symposia

Each year the Journal of Constitutional Law hosts a symposium focusing on popular topics in constitutional scholarship and featuring notable constitutional law scholars. Past topics include "The Judiciary and the Popular Will" (January 29–30, 2010), and "Presidential Power in Historical Perspective: Reflections on Calabresi and Yoo's The Unitary Executive" (February 6–7, 2009). The most recent symposium, hosted in conjunction with the National Constitution Center, focused on "The Past, Present, and Future of Presidential Elections" (January 29, 2021).

Additionally, the Journal recently presented a joint symposium with the University of Pennsylvania Law Review titled "Civil Procedure, Judicial Administration, and the Future of the Field: A Festschrift in Honor of Professor Stephen B. Burbank" (February 12–13, 2021). This symposium brought together leading scholars in civil procedure and judicial administration, along with renowned jurists, and highlighted new scholarship in international and comparative procedure and interdisciplinary approaches.[10]
