Aims & Scope

The Stanford Law Review publishes a print volume with six separate issues—published once a month from January through June. These issues contain original scholarship by, among others, Law Review members, other Stanford Law School students, professors, judges, and practicing attorneys. The Stanford Law Review Online was founded in 2011 to supplement to the Law Review’s print editions with short, accessible, and timely pieces of legal scholarship. To this day, the Law Review has two principal functions: to educate and foster intellectual discourse among the student membership and to contribute to legal scholarship by addressing important legal and social issues.
