— ABOUT JET
Notre Dame Law School's Journal on Emerging Technologies
The Journal on Emerging Technologies (JET) is a student-run publication of the University of Notre Dame Law School dedicated to examining the legal, political, social, and economic consequences of technological change. JET provides a forum for rigorous interdisciplinary scholarship on novel and rapidly developing technologies, including artificial intelligence, data governance, cybersecurity, biotechnology, digital platforms, financial technology, and other innovations reshaping law and society. The Journal brings together students, scholars, practitioners, and policymakers to evaluate how emerging technologies should be understood, regulated, and governed.
Rooted in Notre Dame Law School’s tradition of serious legal inquiry, JET aims to publish work that is timely, practical, and intellectually ambitious—work that helps define the legal frameworks for technologies that are already transforming institutions, markets, and human life.
Across each volume, the Journal pairs original articles by leading academics and practitioners with student-authored notes that engage the same questions from a new generation’s vantage.
JET is edited entirely by Notre Dame Law students and welcomes submissions from scholars, practitioners, and students working at the frontier of law and technology.
