The Journal features in-depth analyses and discussions on legal matters, examining how the law interacts with and influences communities, cultures, and systems both locally and globally.
Applications for writers and editors are open to UW-Madison students during the fall and spring semesters.
The University of Wisconsin Blog
The blog is open to all students, including those outside the UW-Madison Pre-Law Society. It strives to encourage dynamic legal and social discourse through shorter opinion and op-ed style articles that address timely issues. This platform serves as a counterpart to the more detailed analysis found in our Law Journal.
