Join Mitchell Hamline’s Journal of Public Policy and Practice!
This journal sits right at the intersection of law, policy, and real-world impact—which is exactly where meaningful change happens. From analyzing how legislation actually plays out on the ground to elevating voices working on today’s most pressing public issues, JPPP is about more than theory. It’s about practice.
Being part of the journal means sharpening research and writing skills, collaborating with thoughtful peers, and engaging deeply with policy issues that affect our communities now—not someday. It’s an opportunity to contribute to conversations that matter, learn how ideas move from the page to implementation, and grow as a future practitioner who understands both the law and its consequences.
Learn, write, and contribute!

Save the Date! Social Connectedness: Strategically Addressing Isolation and Loneliness
Join us for our 2026 Spring Symposium on April 10, 2026!
In Person at Mitchell Hamline School of Law Virtual Participation via Zoom
Isolation and loneliness increasingly shape individual well-being, community health, and access to justice. The legal profession plays a critical role in either reinforcing disconnection or fostering meaningful connection. The Journal of Public Policy & Practice Spring 2026 Symposium brings together legal professionals, students, policymakers, and advocates to explore how law and policy can strengthen social connectedness across systems, organizations, and communities.
Symposium Focus Areas
· Social connectedness as a legal, ethical, and professional value
· The impact of isolation on clients, communities, and legal systems
· Lawyers and legal institutions as social connectors
· Practical strategies to build connection in law, policy, and public service work
