LAW

Welcome

The Saint Louis University Law Journal is the flagship law review at Saint Louis University School of Law, the oldest law school west of the Mississippi river. Law students edit and produce the Journal, which the School of Law sponsors. Eminent scholars, judges, professors, practitioners and high-achieving law students author the articles for the Journal’s four annual issues. Each issue is overseen by a Managing Editor, under the supervision and direction of our Editor-in-Chief, Chioma Chukwu.

The Journal publishes four annual issues on a variety of legal topics. It is our goal to publish timely, pertinent and thought-provoking legal scholarship in every volume. Further, we seek to make publishing with the Journal a positive and enjoyable experience for the authors with whom we collaborate. Finally, it is our readers who we endeavor to serve. Our readers are the final judge of quality, and the Journal seeks to improve in quality with each successive volume.
