Hofstra Law Review
The Hofstra Law Review, an entirely student run organization, is the flagship law review of Hofstra University School of Law. It is ranked 68 out of more than 1,000 law journals in the United States.[1] Its inaugural issue was published in 1973. Entering its 45th volume, the Hofstra Law Review is published quarterly.
Recently, the Hofstra Law Review founded the Hofstra Law Review Alumni Association. The mission of the Alumni Association is to get in touch with alumni of the Law Review to help build a strong network of Law Review alumni.
In 2005, the Hofstra Law Review began publishing a new section entitled "Ideas." "Ideas" serve as the vehicle for short pieces—from three to 10 pages in length and having a minimal number of footnotes—on topics of interest to scholars and practitioners. There are no subject-matter restrictions and no requirement that the pieces relate to one another. "Ideas" is a collection of brief observations on important legal questions.
