Journals

Seattle University School of Law has two official student-run legal periodicals: Seattle University Journal for Social Justice and Seattle University Law Review. The student members’ participation in the writing assignments and the editorial process required by both journals is designed to improve writing skills and research techniques and to instill self-discipline and analytical proficiency through the hard work required to publish quality research works. A third student journal is pending approval.

Seattle Journal for Social Justice

SJSJ is a peer-reviewed, student-edited journal that was founded in 2001 to promote critical interdisciplinary discussions on urgent problems of social justice, including exploring the often-conflicting meanings of justice that arise in a diverse society.

Seattle University Law Review

Law Review is a legal periodical that publishes research by legal scholars and provides valuable educational experiences for the student members. The Law Review strives to publish articles that will be useful research tools for students, attorneys, judges, and legal scholars, and to provide commentary on issues that will facilitate growth and development of the law.

Bellwether: The Seattle Journal of Environmental
Law & Policy

Bellwether is a proposed environmental law journal currently seeking administrative approval. Bellwether is the next generation of law journals combining the traditional print publication with newer, timelier online content. By focusing on how environmental law intersects with other disciplines, Bellwether's scholarship focuses on the importance of environmental protections in business, international transactions, and land use.
