As an aspiring lawyer, I always found myself searching the internet for resources and peer-reviewed articles that can help me further my legal knowledge. However, as a high school student, as well as now as an undergraduate student, I have had a very hard time finding legal research that was conducted and composed in a manner that I could understand, as someone who has never taken a law school course. No matter how long I spent, I was never able to fully understand peer-reviewed legal journals. I constantly felt like I had nowhere to turn to share my thoughts and legal opinions, no where to collaborate with my peers.
Thus, NoviceLaw Legal Journal was born. NoviceLaw was created in an effort to mimic the typical legal journal, and its goal is to help spread ideas and theories about law and public policy throughout the next generation of legal professionals. NoviceLaw provides a platform to aspiring legal professionals, or truly anyone who wishes to share their legal insights, and it gives young high school and college aged students the ability to share their ideas with anyone who has an internet connection. NoviceLaw destroys the intimidation factor that comes with reading a legal journal written by a lawyer and it gives those who are not as educated or familiar with legal terms a place to turn to stimulate their curiosity.
NoviceLaw is written by teens, for teens. We are looking for high school and undergraduate aged scholars to develop their own theories and to challenge their peers by submitting their articles to our journal. We hope you will join us in investing now in the future of our robust legal system.
