SMU Law Review is the flagship journal of
SMU Dedman School of law, publishing articles by prominent legal scholars and practitioners with international reach.
SMU Law Review is part of the
SMU Law Review Association which also publishes the
SMU Law Review Forum, the
Journal of Air Law and Commerce, and the
SMU Annual Texas Survey. Together, the Association’s student members publish four issues annually for the
SMU Law Review. One issue each year is a Symposium issue focusing on timely legal topics. Recent Symposium issues have highlighted the role of artificial intelligence in a fair and just society, criminal justice reform, the right to die, and free speech under the First Amendment. Additionally,
SMU Law Review publishes four to five Comments written by SMU Law Review Association’s student members. Serving as more than just a publication, the
SMU Law Review also sponsors the annual SMU Corporate Counsel Symposium.
Before publishing as the
SMU Law Review in 1992, the journal began in 1947 as
Texas Law and Legislation and then as the
Southwestern Law Journal in 1948.
