Overview of BU Law Journals

What is a law journal?

Law journals publish scholarly articles that address contemporary legal issues.

Most law journals are student-run and advised by at least one faculty member.
Articles are written by professors or practitioners and will typically identify the legal issue and then propose a solution.
While some law reviews may be focused on a particular topic, subject matter is generally broad in focus.
Other law journals are often subject-matter specific (i.e., publish articles specific to one area of law, such as the American Journal of Law and Medicine).
