Louisiana Law Review

Since 1938, the Louisiana Law Review has served as Louisiana’s flagship legal journal and has become a vibrant forum for scholarship in comparative and civil law topics, just as Dean Hebert predicted. The Law Review currently ranks in the top 200 student-edited journals, and among the top 100 journals for the highest number of cases citing to a law review. Louisiana Law Review scholars have been recognized around the world for their contributions to both common and civil law doctrine. A 2007 student comment served as the foundation for the legislative revisions to Louisiana’s community property law. In 2009, one of our members received the national Scribes Law-Review Award for the best student-authored law review article of the year. Moreover, an alumna of LSU Law was invited to participate in a French national symposium to review French prescription law in light of his article on the doctrine of contra non valentum. Subscribers to the Louisiana Law Review reside all over the world in areas such as France, Great Britain, Canada, Central America, South Africa, Thailand, Israel, Japan, and the Philippines.
