The UCL Jurisprudence Review is an annual collection of essays in jurisprudence published by an independent student group at University College London Faculty of Laws. Established in 1994, it is the first academic student law journal of the United Kingdom.
The Review considers essays from students of any faculty in the United Kingdom. We are currently accepting submissions for our eighteenth volume, to be published in September 2012. For information about contributing to the Review, please visit the submissions page.
This past November, the Review hosted a topical Q&A panel discussion on The Normative Value of Free Speech and Privacy. For further information about upcoming events, please visit the events page.
For general information about contributions, events, and sponsorship, please visit the contact page or send an e-mail to Managing Editor, Stuart Bruce, at juris.review@ucl.ac.uk.
The Review is now available on Westlaw UK and in law libraries around the world.
The UCL Jurisprudence Review was established in 1994 by Professor Stephen Guest as an annual forum for the publication of the best writing in legal theory produced by students. Contributors grapple with traditional questions of analytic jurisprudence, problems in ethics and political philosophy, and challenges at the intersection of social and legal theory.
The success of the Review is illustrated by the recommendations it has received over the years.
Professor Ronald Dworkin, UCL Faculty of Laws/NYU Law School
"The University College London Faculty of Laws has always insisted that inquiry into theoretical aspects of all laws is central to a proper legal education... each paper illustrates originality and scholarly research that does credit to the students and staff of this faculty. The Review is the only academic student law review in the United Kingdom and I believe it now contributes significantly to legal philosophy."
Professor Jeremy Waldron, NYU Law School
"The papers are crisp, well argued, and they don't suffer from the tedium or the formulaic laboriousness of student 'notes' in American Law Reviews. Not only that, but they are persuasive and insightful, and they grapple fruitfully with difficult issues."
