Lawfare

Legal scholars' sober analysis of national security law and executive power

Newsletter Law Weekly Updated Oct 2026

About

Lawfare was founded by legal scholars including Benjamin Wittes to cover the intersection of law, national security, and executive power, and it's become required reading during moments when those boundaries are being tested, from surveillance law to war powers.

The writing is dense and legally precise, by lawyers and academics rather than general-assignment journalists, so it rewards readers willing to follow detailed legal argument rather than those wanting a quick summary.
