History of the Florida Law Review
After World War II, a group of motivated law students at the University of Florida College of Law had a vision: to create a law review that would reflect their institution’s academic rigor. Their efforts culminated in 1948 with the publication of the first issue of the University of Florida Law Review[1].
Since its foundation, the Florida Law Review has held to its commitment to publish quality scholarly work consistently. It’s become a platform for discussions on significant legal issues and has played a role in the professional journeys of many lawyers, judges, and academics.
The Florida Law Review is student-edited. It features articles, lectures, and other academic work from contributors nationwide and internationally. With a team of over ninety student members and a staff assistant, the Review produces one volume annually, comprising six issues. While it has grown and changed over the years, the core commitment to service and quality, as envisioned by its founders, remains.

The Florida Law Review Endowment was established with the intent of fully funding the general operations of the Review, as well as member scholarships, in perpetuity. To donate to the Endowment, please visit this link
