Northeastern University Law Review
The Northeastern University Law Review (NULR) is a student-run publication that engages all topics of legal scholarship, with special attention given to articles that show the connections among public interest, innovation, and the practical application of law. The Law Review is published twice a year and includes articles by legal and interdisciplinary academics, attorneys, and law students.
Publications and Online Content
The Law Review also publishes content through its online publications, Extra Legal and the Online Forum. Extra Legal is a platform for shorter pieces meant to engage authors and their readers in current legal issues, many dealing with break-out topics and evolving areas of law. The Online Forum is focused on facilitating discourse around current legal topics in a blog format. It provides a space to respond to contemporary legal challenges, analyze developments of law and policy, and define opportunities for change.
