Villanova Law Review

The Villanova Law Review is a student-run and student-edited journal devoted to the advancement of legal scholarship. To this end, the Law Review publishes analytical and critical articles written by law professors, judges, scholars, and students on a wide variety of legal topics as well as endowed lectures presented by professors and practitioners. All articles are subjected to a rigorous editorial process designed to improve the article’s substance, tone, and readability. One volume is published annually, and each volume contains five issues. In 2012, the Law Review introduced Tolle Lege, a dedicated online journal which will showcase articles by members of the bench, bar, and academia on timely legal issues. The Law Review has several purposes. First, it serves as an academic forum for noteworthy legal scholarship. Second, it acts as an important research tool for scholars, practitioners, and students of law. Third, it provides an opportunity for its members to hone their editing, research, and writing skills. The Law Review staff is comprised of second- and third-year students, who are selected on the basis of their academic standing or through a writing competition. Each student serves two years as a Law Review member. The Law Review functions autonomously, and all operations are overseen by the Editorial Board, which is composed of third-year students. The Editorial Board is led by the Editor-in-Chief, the Executive Editor, the Managing Editor of Production, the Managing Editor of Research and Writing, the Managing Editor of Operations, and the Managing Editor of Tolle Lege. It is further composed of the Outside Articles Editors, the Student Works Editors, and the Online Editors. If you have any comments or questions, please email [email protected].
