City Law Review
Vols. 1-6 (2019-2024)
Published by City Law School
Subjects: Foreign Affairs, Banking and Finance Law, Business Practice and Procedure
The publication aims at promoting legal academia through engaging with primarily law students and legal practitioners, and generating fruitful, intellectual debates on pressing legal issues. Submissions relating to English law are preferred, although comparative legal pieces are also welcome. It is intended for both law students and practitioners who have developed an interest in English law. The journal is both student-edited, and peer-edited. There are three rounds of review prior to publication. The second round is called “academic review,” where eminent academics at the School of Law assess the strength and accuracy of the legal submissions made in submitted pieces.
Decisions of the Roman Rota
Vol. 1 (2023)
Published by Catholic University of America
Decisions of the Roman Rota provides original, recent Latin sentences and decrees of the Tribunal of the Roman Rota—together with English translations of them and an introductory essay—for an English-speaking readership. It is intended for canon lawyers and tribunal officials in the English-speaking world, as well as lawyers interested in the jurisprudence of the Roman Catholic Church.
Washington University Law Review Online
Vols. 96-101 (2018-2023)
Published by the Washington University School of Law
The Washington University Law Review Online is a student-run, student-edited academic journal that seeks to publish legally related scholarly articles. The Law Review Online seeks to foster dialogue on interesting legal issues both within the law school and in the broader legal community. The Law Review Online is the online-only component of the Washington University Law Review, which is a bimonthly law review published by students at Washington University School of Law in St. Louis, Missouri. The Law Review was originally established as the St. Louis Law Review in 1915, retitled the Washington University Law Quarterly in 1936, and was most recently renamed in 2006. In 2017, the Law Review launched a new platform for legal scholarship: the Washington University Law Review Online. This new, online-only platform was meant to offer a space to publish shorter, non-traditional works of legal scholarship by law professors, practicing attorneys, lawmakers, and students. Since then, the Law Review Online has published 6 volumes and almost two dozen articles.
Two titles were updated and one new title was added:
