PURPOSE AND PROCESS The
Widener Law Review (Law Review) is dedicated to publishing scholarship pertaining to current legal issues. Such legal topics may also be explored through symposia organized and hosted by the Law Review. Unsolicited articles authored by professors, judges, practitioners, as well as articles solicited from symposia speakers form the core of the Law Review's publication. Student-authored notes, comments, essays, book reviews and other appropriate pieces provide additional material for publication. All submissions undergo the Law Reviewís rigorous editorial process designed to enhance the overall quality of the authors’ work.
HISTORY The
Widener Law Review (formerly known as the Widener Law Symposium Journal) is the Law School’s third law review journal. The Law Review is the result of several years of student, faculty and administration efforts to increase the opportunity for, and diversity of scholarly legal publication at the Law School. A faculty committee developed the general framework for the Law Review and selected the first Editorial Board (Board) in the fall of 1993. The Board began organizational efforts in the spring of 1994. The first Symposium was held in March 1995 and publication of the inaugural issue was in May 1996.
