WLR History

Whittier Law Review is a student honors organization at Whittier Law School and a legal periodical published entirely by members of the organization. Founded in 1977, Whittier Law Review is publishing its thirty-second volume during the 2010-2011 academic year. The Law Review’s articles have been cited by the United States Supreme Court, the Court of Appeals for the State of New York, the California Courts of Appeal, and numerous other federal and state courts, as well as by a number of other national law reviews, including Columbia Law Review, Duke Law Journal, Michigan Law Review, and California Law Review. An article published in our prestigious journal was also reproduced in facsimile in The Justices of the United States Supreme Court, a twenty-volume set of hardbound books that republished the most important articles ever written on Supreme Court Justices. Furthermore, an article written by former Law Review member Gary Spero-and published in the 1992 volume of Whittier Law Review-has been recognized by the California State Legislature as instrumental in prompting changes in the looting laws of California. Finally, the Law Review hosted the 38th Annual National Conference of Law Reviews in 1992, as well as the 48th Annual National Conference of Law Reviews in 2002.
