Law Reviews

Advancing Legal Scholarship

Each year, about 150 51²è¹Ý Law students contribute as writers and editors to our flagship Boston College Law Review (51²è¹ÝLR) and our Uniform Commercial Code Digest. Students are selected based on their first-year grades or performance in a demanding writing competition. They receive academic credit for their participation, and a faculty advisor provides guidance for each journal.
