The Pepperdine Law Review is a student-edited law journal published by an independent student group composed of second- and third-year J.D. students at Pepperdine University School of Law. The Law Review publishes four to five issues a year and sponsors an annual symposium on a relevant legal topic. Since its founding in 1972, the Pepperdine Law Review has been a resource for practitioners, law professors, and judges alike. The Law Review has been cited several times by the United States Supreme Court, and is available on Westlaw and LexisNexis.
