Call for Contributors: Volume 25
Apply as a Writer or Editor
The UCLA Undergraduate Law Journal is seeking contributors for Volume 25, to be published in Spring 2026. We are looking for driven, passionate undergraduate students (or 2024–25 academic year graduates) from the United States and abroad to apply to be writers and editors for the Journal.
The Journal is composed solely of undergraduate and recently graduated students' work, making it one of the few undergraduate law reviews in the country modeled after top law school publications. As an annual collection of student-written articles on law-related topics, it is among the very few undergraduate legal publications in the United States. Past contributors have written on subjects ranging from legal philosophy and history to public policy and the criminal justice system. The Journal has published 24 volumes to date and is developing a digital archive of past issues.
The Journal is also committed to empowering students who are underrepresented in the legal field by equipping them with the skills to thrive as writers, editors, agents of change, future leaders. To further this mission, we welcome submissions from Community College students and foster a collaborative, inclusive environment. As of Volume 25, we are launching initiatives to promote accessibility and broaden participation in undergraduate legal scholarship (Read more).
