We will publish at least three accurate, error free, relevant issues. 2L staffers will be trained beginning in the spring through Write-On workshops and continuing in Orientation to ensure their skills are up to par to ensure staff editing is not the reason we do not publish.

First, we need to update our scholastica page. (This is the site where scholars can submit their articles.)

Next, the theme of the articles we publish should have a focus of the needs of our community. We are not the last resort. We are the standard.

The HLJ at 70 issue should have articles from new and past published authors. This will require us to maintain or create a strong relationship between the Journal and the legal community.

We need a website. This fall, we'll launch our new website, bringing our scholarship into the digital age and enhancing our visibility in the legal community.

Monitor local DC legislation affecting our community. Publish regular briefings in accessible language explaining potential impacts on our community and offering balanced analysis of policy proposals.

We are the image of excellency and should be so around campus. This will be accomplished by creating a strong physical presence on campus through involvement and activation of all members in various activities and support of other organizations.

Create infographics, short videos, and plain-language guides explaining important legal concepts relevant to our community, from housing rights to intellectual property in academic work. Distribute these across digital spaces.

Develop a series or other opportunities bringing graduates back to campus to discuss how their journal experience shaped their legal careers. Use these connections to build mentorship networks and fundraising opportunities.

Partner with law journals at other HBCUs and DC-area universities for joint symposia addressing regional legal challenges. This positions Howard Law Journal within broader academic networks while maintaining its distinctive perspective.
