London Law Review

The London Law Review is a peer-reviewed law review edited and published by students from the University of London Law Schools. It was founded in 2005 by T. Andrew de Beaulac and Paul Dougan, who served as the Review's first editor-in-chief and academic advisor. The Rt. Hon. Lord Phillips of Worth Matravers, the Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales, is Patron of the Review having taken over from the Rt. Hon. Lord Woolf upon his retirement.

The publication is one of a handful of student-edited law journals in the UK and is published four issues per year. The London Law Review uses a hybrid citation styles between the Bluebook and the OSCOLA (Oxford Standard for Citation Of Legal Authorities) systems.

The London Law Review derived from the Birkbeck Student Law Review, in the fall of 2004. In May 2005 the name was changed to its current form, the domain was registered and a private limited company was registered with Companies House to Birkbeck's Student Union address.

Each year the LLR provides scholarships to deserving students, allowing them to continue their education. It also holds a number of important annaul events [ House of Commons debate - December, International Moot Court Competition - February, Professional Training courses provided by CEDR and CIArb.

The School of Law at Birkbeck College refutes the accuracy of the various allegations made about it in this entry. After much consideration the School has chosen not to be associated with the Review. The school has played no part in the authorship of the derogatory comments made in the history pages for this entry.

The LLR remains a private institutional organisation run by students from the University of London's colleges.

The last issue of the Law Review to be published was Volume 2, Issue 2, in January 2007.
