About the journal
The UCLA Law Review was founded in December 1953, a few years after the founding of the Law School at UCLA. The Review has recently celebrated its fiftieth anniversary, which was commemorated in a symposium.
The UCLA Law Review is published six times a year by the students of the UCLA School of Law and the Regents of the University of California. The Review is a completely student-run organization and all management, editorial, and publication control is vested in its members. The Review strives to publish articles of the highest academic quality, while also appealing to the general interests of practicing attorneys, legal scholars, law students, judges, and legislators.
Membership in the Review is decided purely on the basis of a write-on competition that first year students complete over their spring break. Success leads to a year of service as a member of the Review's staff. The editorial board of the Review is then selected from the staff based on their diligence, attention to detail, demonstrated leadership abilities, and service to the Review during their staff year.
As an organization managed by the students of the School of Law, we strongly support our fellow student organizations. Many members of the Law Review are active participants in other student journals and organizations.
