Kansas Law Review

About Us

The Kansas Law Review is a student-edited journal of legal scholarship published five times yearly. It publishes articles about all areas of law, but especially welcomes articles discussing state law issues, topics pertinent to the plains region, and legal ethics and legal advocacy skills. The Law Review publishes articles written by law professors, judges and practicing attorneys. Each issue also contains legal comments written by Law Review student editors. One issue in each volume exclusively discusses issues of Kansas law. The Law Review hosts an annual symposium on a special topic of law and publishes scholarly written work submitted in conjunction with the symposium in a special issue.

Membership on the Kansas Law Review is determined based on KU Law students’ grades and performance in a writing competition held every spring semester. Members are eligible for academic credit for their service as staff members in their first year on Law Review and as board members in their second year.
