The Pepperdine Law Review was founded in 1972 and is a scholarly law journal published by second and third-year law students at the Pepperdine University School of Law. In its 40 years of existence, the Pepperdine Law Review has been a resource for practitioners, law professors, and judges alike and has been cited several times by the Supreme Court.
Members of the Law Review are selected on the basis of academic excellence and outstanding scholarship, and membership in the Law Review is recognized as both an honor and a unique educational experience. The members of the Law Review edit articles written by professors, lawyers, judges, legislators, and other scholars, as well as producing their own Comments or Notes on legal developments and significant cases. We publish five issues a year and each issue contains articles written by legal scholars, practitioners, law students, and judges.
If you are interested in receiving a copy of each issue in the mail, you may subscribe to the Pepperdine Law Review by following the instructions on the “Subscribe” link above. Please contact Connie Honoré at 310-506-4764 or chonore@pepperdine.edu if you have any questions about subscribing.
