The Alabama Law Review, now entering its 78th volume, is a nationally recognized journal of legal scholarship and the flagship legal journal in the state of Alabama. Each year, the Alabama Law Review publishes contributions from leading scholars as well as selected works from its own members, covering a wide array of legal topics.
The editors of the Alabama Law Review carefully analyze these articles and prepare them for publication in each of the four issues the journal publishes every year. As a light-edit journal, the Alabama Law Review seeks to preserve the integrity of author contributions while also guaranteeing accurate and useful citations. Each article undergoes a rigorous multi-level review before final author review and publication.
The members of the Alabama Law Review, in addition to their work as editors, serve as student leaders at the University of Alabama School of Law. Members regularly attend lectures and symposia held each year and play a major role in welcoming visiting faculty and other distinguished guests to campus.
In conjunction with their editing responsibilities, members of the Alabama Law Review write works of scholarship for publication. Each year, the Junior Editors of the journal prepare student contributions analyzing unsettled areas of law, and the best of these contributions are published in the following volume. These pieces of scholarship provide members with the opportunity to work closely with faculty and add a lasting contribution to scholarly debate.
