UCLA’s Flagship Undergraduate Legal Publication

Since its inception in 2002, the UCLA Undergraduate Law Journal, the official publication of the UCLA Pre-Law Society, has published 22 volumes of high-quality legal scholarship exclusively produced by undergraduate students from universities across the world. Based at the top public university in the United States, the Journal has established itself as one of the pre-eminent publications for undergraduate students seeking to explore in-depth research on the most pressing contemporary issues of society, politics, and economics from a legal perspective.

The Journal is modeled on the country’s leading law reviews, which regularly publish cutting-edge research by the world’s top legal scholars. In this sense, the Journal immerses contributors in an authentic experience that mirrors that of bona fide legal research that drives contemporary political thought and social discourse.

We are a generalist journal, publishing an annual volume of wholly student-produced scholarship pertaining to a wide variety of legal issues, including contemporary issues in U.S. domestic law and the international sphere, legal theory, and practical aspects of the law.
