About This Journal
Tulsa Law Review is the flagship law journal of the University of Tulsa College of Law. Run completely by law students, Tulsa Law Review publishes three issues per year containing innovative and thought-provoking scholarly articles from legal scholars nationwide. Tulsa Law Review also publishes four articles from TU law students each year. Not confined to one field of law or practice area, Tulsa Law Review publishes scholarship from subjects as varied as health law, oil and gas law, and constitutional law. Tulsa Law Review represents the best in legal writing and scholarship from practitioners, legal scholars, and TU law students.
Aims and Scope
Tulsa Law Review aims to put forth the highest quality publications each year. The journal publishes research from across the spectrum of legal scholarship. Scholarly articles published by Tulsa Law Review are thoughtfully and painstakingly edited by teams of second- and third-year law students for technical precision and substantive excellence. The finished product represents hours of editorial work and close collaboration with authors.
Additionally, Tulsa Law Review hopes to shape each year's incoming candidate class into first-rate legal writers, editors, and thinkers. Tulsa Law Review candidates experience a variety of educational seminars hosted by professors and current Tulsa Law Review members regarding Bluebook citation, scholarly writing, and legal research. Every candidate completes a law review Note or Comment on the topic of his or her choice, which is carefully edited by Tulsa Law Review members. Each candidate is assigned a 3L member as a mentor during the writing process. Candidates also complete several subciting assignments each semester, which assist with the journal's workload and strengthen candidates' legal citation skills.
Tulsa Law Review also hosts an annual symposium, which coincides with the journal's symposium issue. Past symposium themes have included the Tulsa Race Massacre, the career of Justice Aharon Bharak (former President of the Israeli Supreme Court), and the work of feminist scholar Catharine MacKinnon. Tulsa Law Review's annual symposium brings together scholars from a distinct field of law and provides a unique learning opportunity for journal members.
