SECRECY IN THE LAW REVIEWS

There has been a surge of publication of papers on official secrecy,
national security classification and freedom of information in law
reviews and other professional legal journals. Not all are equally
original in their analysis or compelling in their conclusions, but they
typically provide a scholarly perspective on matters of secrecy policy,
and they often include valuable source citations.

Some of the more interesting new law review articles that have come to
our attention are these:
