Journals & Publications
It's simple: Membership on a journal or other publication advances your legal career. And at the College of Law, students have a number of options.
The student-edited University of Illinois Law Review is generally regarded as one of the preeminent law reviews in the country. It's the oldest law review in the country devoted to legal issues facing older people. Both College of Law journals attract articles from scholars nationwide.
The College of Law's newest journal is The Journal of Law, Technology, and Policy. Launched in 2001, the Journal is a highly innovative, interdisciplinary publication devoted to cutting-edge issues of intellectual property. Students are invited to become members after submitting a writing sample and showing a demonstrated interest in intellectual property matters.
College of Law students also write Illinois Law Update, a column focusing on recent developments in Illinois law, published monthly in the Illinois Bar Journal and read by thousands of practicing lawyers throughout the state. These students are chosen from among the top legal writing students in the College.
The College also publishes the prestigious Comparative Labor Law & Policy Journal, a major international forum for the best scholarship in labor law, employment policy, and social security issues. The Illinois Jurist alumni magazine keeps our thousands of alumni connected with the many things happening at the College of Law.
We invite you to read and, as a student, participate in the publications offerings at the College of Law.
