About the Law Review
The University of Pittsburgh Law Review is a student-run journal of legal scholarship that publishes quarterly. Our goal is to contribute to the legal community by featuring pertinent articles that highlight current legal issues and changes in the law.
The Law Review publishes articles, comments, book reviews, and notes on a wide variety of topics, including constitutional law, securities regulation, criminal procedure, family law, international law, and jurisprudence. Recently, in Volume 66, we featured a symposium in honor of the 50th anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education. Thereafter, in Volume 69, we published a symposium entitled "Lawyers and Disability," which featured articles by some of the most recognized scholars in the field of disability law. We are currently working to make annual symposia part of the University of Pittsburgh Law Review tradition.
Our diligent contribution to legal scholarship has a long history. Founded in 1934 with a staff of only nine, the Law Review published Volume 1 in March of 1935. The journal quickly flourished. In the 1935-36 academic year, the Law Review staff doubled and the journal instituted its current quarterly format. Although the Law Review suspended its operations from 1941 to 1947 during the Second World War, publication has otherwise remained uninterrupted.
