The Review of Litigation, established in 1980, at the University of Texas School of Law, is a student-managed publication dedicated to the process of litigation. The Review balances the interests of academia with pragmatic issues important to practicing attorneys and judges. We publish on topics related to procedure, evidence, trial, and appellate advocacy, alternative dispute resolution, and often-litigated substantive law. Published articles not only address issues pertinent to litigation practice, but also comment on substantive and theoretical aspects of the law.
The Review annually publishes three to four issues including articles written by lawyers, judges or practitioners and student notes written by staff members on The Review. Our articles are routinely cited in published court opinions. In fact, The Review is the fourth most cited specialty journal in the country according to a Washington & Lee Law School Survey of published court decisions (check specialized and cases on the referenced link). Our subscription base includes judges, academics, corporations, firms, libraries, and sole-practitioners – more form outside of Texas, than within the state.
2007 marks the 26th year of publication of The Review. Past authors reflect both the diversity of our readership and the subject areas covered. Recently, we have published articles by professors, federal judges, and practitioners covering topics from fiduciary duty to homeland security.
The Review organizes and hosts a symposium every year on an emerging legal topic or a changing aspect of the law. These symposiums are attended by practitioners, judges, academics, and students. Past symposium topics include products liability, ethics and mass torts, conflicts of interest, medical and health care litigation, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the modern jury trial. Past speakers include The Honorable Edward C. Prado (Judge, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit), The Honorable Patrick E. Higginbotham (Judge, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit), and The Honorable Scott A. Brister (Justice, The Supreme Court of Texas).
The Review solicits articles for publication year-round, especially articles that focus on arguments, issues, and points of view that have not yet received national attention, but would be helpful to attorneys throughout the country.
The full text of the articles and notes is available in many law libraries, on HeinOnline, on Westlaw and on LexisNexis.
