The Washington University Jurisprudence Review, formed in 2008, is Washington University School of Law’s fourth legal journal. The  Jurisprudence Review is the only student-edited, in-print journal of law and philosophy in America.  The Jurisprudence Review promotes academic discussion and scholarship at the nexus of law and philosophy.  It also seeks to broaden and deepen the law school experience by fostering critical analysis of the suppositions and theories that underpin the law school curriculum.  To further these purposes, the Jurisprudence Review publishes articles by scholars from within and outside the legal academy, as well as student-authored notes.  Additionally, the Jurisprudence Review hosts an annual jurisprudence colloquium where invited authors of the current volume present their work to the broader academic community.
