The Pepperdine Law Review is a student-edited law journal published by an independent student group composed of second- and third-year J.D. students at Pepperdine University School of Law. The Law Review publishes four to five issues a year and sponsors an annual symposium on a relevant legal topic. Since its founding in 1972, the Pepperdine Law Review has been a resource for practitioners, law professors, and judges alike. The Law Review has been cited several times by the United States Supreme Court, and is available on Westlaw and LexisNexis.

Membership

[edit]

Members of the Law Review are selected on the basis of academic excellence and participation in a rigorous selection process.[1] Students in the top 10% of their first-year class may elect to join the journal's staff ("grading on"), and other students in the top 50% may seek membership by participating in an anonymously graded writing competition ("writing on").

Notable alumni

[edit]

Pepperdine Law Review Alumni have moved on to successful careers both in public service and private practice. The Pepperdine Law Review also has a strong tradition of sending its members to judicial clerkships across the country. Pepperdine Law Review alumni have clerked at all levels of the federal judiciary and several state courts.
