Northeastern University Law Review

The Northeastern University Law Review is a student-run publication that engages all topics of legal scholarship, with special attention given to articles that show the connections among public interest, innovation, and the practical application of law. The Law Review is published twice a year and includes articles by legal and interdisciplinary academics, attorneys, and law students. The Law Review also publishes content through its online publication, Extra Legal. Extra Legal is a platform for shorter pieces meant to engage authors and their readers in current legal issues, many dealing with break-out topics and evolving areas of law. The majority of Extra Legal authors are students or alumni/ae of Northeastern University School of Law. In addition to its publications, the Law Review hosts an annual symposium where it invites academics and practitioners to interact with topics based on the symposium's theme. The symposium is open for all to attend and informs the community on a range of problems, viewpoints and resolutions through interdisciplinary discourse. Past symposia have included Information and Data in the Era of Accessibility held March 15, 2015, Prisoners' Rights in the Modern Era held January 31, 2014, and Experience the Future: Experiential Education in Law held in 2013. Student editors make all editorial and organizational decisions and carry out the day to day operations of the Law Review. The staff of the Law Review comprises second- and third-year students selected using a blind application process, including factual and procedural exercises and an analytical writing piece.
