University of the District of Columbia Law Review
The University of the District of Columbia David A. Clarke School of Law is the only public law school in our nation’s capital. We take great pride in publishing articles relevant to legal issues concerning the District of Columbia, the National Capital Region, and the United States. UDC Law has long been a top law school for clinical training and is ranked highly for sending graduates into government and public service roles. Its student body is also one of the most diverse in the United States, with significant representation of women, minorities, and older students.
UDC Law Review focuses on four topical pillars which underpin our emphasis on Equality Before the Law. We accept articles on Constitutional Democracy; Civil Liberties, with emphasis on free speech, gender equality, and environmental justice; the Ongoing Evolution of the Legal Profession; and Social Justice in the Corporate World. We also feature a Call to Your Attention on unique or emerging legal issues.
