Background

What is The UWA Law Review?

The University of Western Australia Law Review, first published in 1948, has the distinction of being among Australia’s oldest and most significant legal periodicals.  It is published twice each year and provides a forum for the airing of topical issues in law.  Articles on topics of current legal significance and practical Notes on Australian case and statute law are published. Contributions are drawn from leading local, interstate and international academics and practitioners.

Who runs The Law Review?

Since 1988, the production of The Review has been carried out by a Student Editorial Board under the supervision and guidance of the Staff Editor. This year the staff editor is George Syrota and the student editorial board comprises of seven students.
