Welcome to the California Law Review

CLR is the oldest and most widely circulated student-edited legal periodical at Boalt and is one of the finest law journals in the country. Articles from CLR strive to add to the legal debate, expose and resolve ambiguities in legal doctrine, develop new approaches to understanding the operations of our legal system and aid legal practitioners in performing their work for the benefit of society.

CLR is the flagship law journal at Boalt Hall School of Law, University of California, Berkeley. To this day, CLR remains a student-run law journal. With our founding dating back to 1912, we were the first such student law journal published west of Illinois.

Our student membership is selected from a merit-based Write On competition, as well as from anonymous manuscripts submitted from among Boalt Hall's finest students.
