Finally, the GJLPP is a biannual publication by the students of Georgetown Law. The scholarly legal journal concentrates on conservative, libertarian, and natural law thought.

The Symposium will feature numerous notable speakers including former NRA President David Keene, and Second Amendment legal scholar and attorney Stephen Halbrook.
