Aims & Scope
The Michigan Law Review is a student-run legal journal with two primary objectives: publishing exceptional scholarship that contributes to the understanding, application, and evolution of the law; and developing future leaders of the legal profession. The Law Review undertakes this mission understanding that the best scholarship has impact beyond the legal academy. To achieve its ends, the Law Review seeks to elevate a diversity of viewpoints, ideas, and identities and to amplify historically marginalized voices. The Law Review publishes outstanding pieces from established and up-and-coming legal scholars, judges, practitioners, and law students.
