Student Publications

Seattle University School of Law has two official student-run legal periodicals: Seattle Journal for Social Justice and Seattle University Law Review. A third student publication, the Seattle Environmental Law Journal, has been granted provisional status and will operate as an official law school journal beginning in fall 2010. The student members’ participation in the writing assignments and the editorial process required by the journals is designed to improve writing skills and research techniques and to instill self-discipline and analytical proficiency through the hard work required to publish quality research works.
