The Saint Louis University Law Journal is the flagship law review at Saint Louis University School of Law. It is student-run and publishes four issues a year: the General Issue, Teaching Issue, Childress Issue, and Symposium Issue. It was established in 1949 as the Intramural Law Review of St. Louis University.
The journal contains articles written by legal scholars in addition to student-written notes and comments. The journal also has an online companion, Saint Louis University Law Journal Online, where shorter-form articles are published on a rolling basis.[1]
Admissions
[edit]The Law Journal accepts new members through an annual write-on competition held after spring exams. The competition includes two components: a shorter comment about a timely issue and a BlueBooking exercise. Candidates are then evaluated on their writing and BlueBooking skills as well as their grades.
