University of Pennsylvania Law Review

Founded in 1852, the University of Pennsylvania Law Review is the oldest continuously published law journal in the United States. In the 2021-2022 academic year, the Law Review will publish its 170th Volume. We publish legal scholarship in both print and online formats; maintain a legal podcast, See generally; and host an annual symposium.

The Law Review has both a professional and an educational mission. It serves the legal profession, the bench, the bar, and the academy by providing a forum for the publication of original legal research of the highest quality. We accept and scrutinize approximately 2,000 written submissions annually to select approximately eighteen articles in each print volume, in addition to online submissions.

We ensure uniformity in the citation of authority in legal scholarship and court documents by cooperating with our peer organizations at Columbia, Harvard, and Yale in the maintenance of The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation.
