A law review is, pretty much, the only vehicle available to our profession for practitioners, students, and even judges and professors to express themselves on subjects of deep interest to the writers and such of their readers who may have an interest in the problem under discussion. The contributors, and particularly the students, have no monetary axes to grind, no cause to which they owe the duty of client relationship to advance or defend, and no motive except pure intellectual and legal research and development. The cause is pure; the work, properly presented, has the potential of somehow, somewhere, advancing legal thought and even affecting the cause of justice.

On Behalf of the Law Review Editorial Board, I would like to welcome you to the DePaul Law Review website.  The DePaul Law Review is a student-edited national journal, established by the DePaul University College of Law in 1951.  The Law Review is intended to serve the DePaul community and the legal profession by providing an instrument for the development of scholarly jurisprudence.

The Law Review publishes four issues a year.  One of these issues is devoted to publication of papers presented at the Clifford Symposium on Tort Law and Social Policy, sponsored annually by DePaul Law Review alumnus, Richard Clifford.  A second issue is devoted to the publication of papers presented at symposia sponsored by the Law Review.  The remaining two issues are devoted to publishing original articles on a variety of timely legal topics submitted to the Law Review by practitioners and academics.   Below you will find a list of the articles scheduled to be published in Issue 1 of Volume 58 of the DePaul Law Review.

Please refer to the links to the left for current issues, information about submissions, past and upcoming symposia, and general contact information.
