Pepperdine Law Review

The Pepperdine Law Review is a student-edited law journal published by an independent student group composed of second- and third-year J.D. students at Pepperdine University School of Law. The Law Review publishes four to five issues a year and sponsors an annual symposium on a relevant legal topic. Since its founding in 1972, the Pepperdine Law Review has been a resource for practitioners, law professors, and judges alike. The Law Review has been cited several times by the United States Supreme Court, and is available on Westlaw and LexisNexis.

Membership
Members of the Law Review are selected on the basis of academic excellence and participation in a rigorous selection process. Students in the top 10% of their first-year class may elect to join the journal's staff ("grading on"), and other students in the top 50% may seek membership by participating in an anonymously graded writing competition ("writing on").
