About
The Washington Undergraduate Law Review, a journal devoted to the scholarly discussion of legal subjects, is edited and produced by undergraduates at the University of Washington. Our purpose is to encourage and provide an outlet for undergraduates with an interest in the field of law. The WULR provides students the opportunity to present a tangible culmination of their hard work, either as contributors to the journal or as officers on the editorial staff. The WULR also strives to provide an environment conducive to networking and to finding peers with similar interests.
The WULR receives article submissions each year from the top-ranked universities across the country, allowing us to publish a high-quality journal each academic quarter. All types of submissions that comprise undergraduate work are accepted, from those in the field of political science to economics to the natural sciences. All have bearing on the legal field, and we believe that a diversity of submission enhances the quality of our final product.
