About Us 

The goal of the Undergraduate Law Review at UC Davis is to provide UC Davis and the broader public with a dedicated forum for the discussion of law-related ideas and the publication of undergraduate legal scholarship. For many undergraduates, important legal and policy questions can feel inaccessible, overly complex, technical, or distant from everyday experience. Our mission is to enrich the academic, intellectual, and extracurricular life of the UC Davis community by offering a space where debate and discourse regarding the law, supported by rigorous research, can meaningfully flourish.

To achieve this, we are committed to the following:

• Providing the resources and platform through which undergraduate students at UC Davis can express their perspectives on legal and policy issues in a publication that reaches a wide academic audience.

• Maintaining a collaborative editorial process that encourages writers and editors to explore, refine, and strengthen their ideas through research, argumentation, and constructive feedback.

• Upholding the highest standards of academic integrity, inquiry, and intellectual curiosity.

We welcome submissions of research papers, articles, case analyses, and essays that span a broad range of legal topics and viewpoints. When relevant, we also encourage interdisciplinary work that draws from related fields, including anthropology, sociology, environmental science, economics, political science, history, agricultural and food systems, international relations, and philosophy. This reflects UC Davis’s distinctive strengths as a leading research university.

The Undergraduate Law Review at UC Davis is dedicated to cultivating a community where thoughtful legal scholarship can grow, where diverse voices are valued, and where students gain meaningful experience engaging with the law in ways that shape their future scholarship, advocacy, and professional pursuits.
