Pierce Law Review
The Pierce Law Review is a student-run, general-interest academic legal journal. Select students are invited to join the staff of the Law Review during the summer following their first or second years of law school. Student members will select articles for publication, edit and proofread these articles, and verify the accuracy and form of cited sources.
Pierce Law Review provides practitioners, judges, professors, and law students with cogent analyses of important topics in the law. The mission of the Law Review is to foster an intellectual community by advancing legal scholarship.
Each year Pierce Law Review publishes one volume, which appears in three separate issues. Each issue contains material written by student members of the Law Review, other Franklin Pierce law students, and outside contributors, such as law professors, judges, and practicing lawyers.
