The Texas Tech Law Review is a general-interest academic law journal dedicated to producing high-quality publications that enrich legal scholarship by encouraging discourse on current legal issues. We are a student-run journal comprised of second- and third-year students at Texas Tech University School of Law.

First published in 1970, the Law Review’s membership was just over a dozen students. Today, our membership stands approximately five times as large as the first volume. Now in its 55th year of publication, the Law Review has hundreds of alumni making valuable contributions to the legal community across the nation and beyond. Professors Brian Shannon and Alyson Outenreath serve as the Law Review’s academic advisors and are essential to the continued success of the Law Review.

Each year, the Law Review publishes one volume comprised of four issues released between November and July. The first issue is dedicated to articles and essays from our spring symposia, usually focused on mental health law or criminal law. Our third issue is solely dedicated to articles, empirical studies, and essays written by prominent legal scholars, judges, and practitioners. The second and fourth issues include similar professional articles but also feature student-written comments covering various state, national, and international legal topics.

Annually, we host the General Huffman Distinguished Lecture Series, featuring prominent speakers and recognized scholars from across the nation. Additionally, we host annual Fall and Spring symposia at the Texas Tech School of Law. Recent symposia have focused on topics of present-day interest in various areas of mental health, energy law, water law, and criminal law. More information on our annual lecture series and symposia can be found on the Huffman Lecture Series and Symposia page.
