The 1865: Peirce College Law Journal
The 1865: Peirce College Law Journal
In 1985, Peirce established a paralegal studies program and started one of the first paralegal programs in the region. Once approved by the American Bar Association (ABA), the Paralegal Program quickly became one of Peirce’s more popular programs and remains the Greater Philadelphia Region’s ONLY ABA-approved bachelor’s degree in Paralegal Studies.
To celebrate this great tradition and celebrate Peirce’s reputation as a leading legal studies educator, Peirce College is proud to introduce The 1865: Peirce College Law Journal.
The 1865 is a student-run, double-blind peer-review law journal, providing a forum for original articles written by attorneys, paralegals, legal professionals, legal scholars, professors, and law enforcement. The Journal addresses issues, trends, and compelling topics in the legal field as well as specific topics in the paralegal profession.
The first edition of The 1865: Peirce College Law Journal is now published. The articles included are:
– The Deficiency of Transferred Intent and Proximate Cause in Pennsylvania and the Fanta Bility Case – Ryan Raynor
– What Roe V. Wade Means for the War on Womankind: Why the Fifty-Year-Old Precedent Should Stand – Karissa Fritz
– Can Anyone Be A Paralegal? – Sirberina V. Davis
– May the Force Majeure Be With You: How This Contract Clause May Be Used in Light of COVID-19 – Charlene Glenn, Ed.D.
– Seven Rules: Blockquotes in Legal Writing – R. Christopher Campbell, J.D.
Articles may be submitted each school year from September 1 through February 25. We are currently accepting written submissions from students, alumni, attorneys, paralegals, legal professionals, legal scholars, professors, and law enforcement. Submissions should be 1,000-6,000 words with properly cited sources.
