The California Law Review is a law journal published by the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law. It was established in 1912. The application process consists of an anonymous write-on competition, with grades playing no role in the consideration of membership. A personal statement is also considered.
History
The California Law Review was the first student-run law review founded west of the Mississippi. It is the ninth oldest surviving law review published in the United States.
A companion volume, identified as California Law Review Online was launched in 2014. The Online volume publishes shorter articles, essays, and blog postings.[1]
