The Northwestern University Law Review Colloquy is a scholarly legal journal that is the online companion to the Northwestern University Law Review located at the Northwestern University School of Law. Although the Colloquy appears as an online blog, its scholarly and journalistic standards are equal to that of the print Law Review.
The Colloquy is the first scholarly weblog to be operated by a major law review. It features legal commentary written in the form of blog-like Colloquy Posts and longer Colloquy Essays. The format of the Colloquy allows scholars to publish their thoughts within days of an emerging legal development anywhere within the field of legal inquiry, whether a short exposition of a new idea, an analysis of an emerging legal topic, an ongoing debate regarding a legal issue, or a short response to published scholarship. Readers can rely upon the Law Review editors and staff to ensure that citations in these pieces support the assertions made in the posts. The Colloquy also provides for commenting on the Essays and Posts in a moderated forum.
