For the past twenty years, the peer-reviewed Journal of Law, Technology and Policy has featured cutting-edge articles on technological innovation, policy, and the field of intellectual property. The Journal's mission is to feature articles on new technologies that raise important policy questions in both foreign and domestic jurisdictions and to discuss the laws, regulations, and policies that affect technological development and innovation. The collaboration of the Journal's members, editors, faculty, and contributing scholars, adds unique and diverse perspectives to the discussion of the legal implications of technology.

"I had a very good experience working with your journal. I found your staff to be courteous and professional."
Michael C. McNerney, United States Department of Defense
"I was published in the Fall issue of the 2009 volume. I found the editors and staff to be very professional and timely in their communications, and the editorial staff went above and beyond the call of duty in their citation review, with numerous useful suggestions for improvement. I also found the Peer Review process to be beneficial, and appreciated the effort made by the peer reviewer. As not all Law Journals provide this added service, it seems to me that JLTP may want to further highlight this distinguishing characteristic."
Frank Douma, Research Fellow and Associate Director, Humphrey School of Public Affairs, University of Minnesota
