Historical Note: Third World Law Journal
The Third World Law Journal was founded in 1978 as a student-edited periodical, with Howe as the faculty advisor. Its aim was to be "a forum for discussing legal issues affecting people, cultures, and institutions that share a common history of colonialism, oppression, under-representation, and marginalization in the political and economic processes." It produced 32 issues before changing its name in 2012 to Boston College Journal of Law & Social Justice. In 2017 it was consolidated, along with three other student-edited journals, into the Boston College Law Review.
