Welcome

The Louisiana Law Review is the state's flagship journal on Louisiana law. The journal's mission is two-fold. First, the Law Review provides a forum for the discussion and debate of innovative and current legal topics by expert scholars, jurists, and practioners from across the country and the world. Secondly, the Law Review provides an outlet for LSU students to research, develop, and potentially publish their own original ideas on a wide range of legal topics.  The Law Review has published student comments and casenotes in the past which have gone on to win national awards, gain notoriety among the European legal community, and serve as a model for the Louisiana State Law Institute to use in recommending revisions to existing state laws.

The experience of being on the Louisiana Law Review is both exciting and immensely rewarding. First and second year students may apply to be on the Law Review by taking part in the annual Write-On Competition which is held at the end of each Spring Semester.
