St. John's Law Review

About the St. John's Law Review

First published in 1926, and part of the St. Thomas More Institute for Legal Research since 1954, the St. John's Law Review is the Law School's flagship journal, providing legal practitioners and scholars with commentary and analysis of recent developments in diverse areas of local, national, and international law.

The Law Review publishes four issues annually, with content primarily consisting of articles from outside authors and notes and comments from the journal's student members. Periodically, the Law Review features conferences, symposia, and book reviews. All content in the Law Review is proudly selected, researched, and edited by the journals's student editors and staff members.

The Law Review staff also publishes an annual issue of the Journal of Catholic Legal Studies.
