Aims & Scope

Washington Law Review publishes four times a year, in October, December, March, and June.

We publish pieces for a general legal audience and invite authors to submit legal scholarship on all topics.

WLR embraces a multi-faceted, intersectional approach to legal issues relevant to the Pacific Northwest and Alaska.

We seek to respond to the overdue and critical need for diverse voices in law; primarily voices that have been historically underrepresented in our legal community.

To that end, WLR is particularly interested in submissions from scholars of color, submissions that address legal issues facing minority communities, and submissions that discuss legal issues specific to the Pacific Northwest and the Ninth Circuit.
