Notre Dame Law Review

The Notre Dame Law Review is a law review published by an organization of students at the University of Notre Dame Law School in Indiana.

History
The Notre Dame Law Review was originally founded by a group of students in 1925 as the Notre Dame Lawyer, changing its name after publication of the 81–82 (Vol. 57) volume. It is published by students as an annual volume, each of which consists of 5 separate issues released between October and June corresponding to a single academic year. The Faculty Advisor is Nicole Stelle Garnett.

In 2014 an online publication called the Notre Dame Law Review Online was launched as a supplement to the print edition. The Online publication has taken up hosting its own symposium. In 2019, the online journal was renamed the Notre Dame Law Review Reflection.

Symposium
The Notre Dame Law Review generally hosts an annual symposium dedicated to a particular set of ideas or a specific body of work. These conferences are open to lawyers from outside the Notre Dame Law Faculty. The proceedings of each symposium are published contemporaneously in that year's Law Review. Recent examples of symposia topics are Administrative Lawmaking in the 21st Century (2017), Contemporary Free Speech: The Marketplace of Ideas a Century Later (2018), and Pioneering Research in Empirical Legal Studies: A Symposium in Honor of Professor Margaret Brinig (2019).
