About the Westminster Law Review
The Westminster Law Review is an interdisciplinary law journal run by an unincorporated association of university students and alumni. Its aim is to provide a publishing platform for undergraduate, postgraduate and PhD students, early career researchers (up to 5 years after PhD) and trainees in legal practice, empowering them to contribute to the legal research environment.
The Review publishes two issues per year, in November and May, in addition to ad-hoc special issues. The Editorial Board invites submissions of scholarly articles, legal commentary and book reviews. These will go through a blind peer review process by the academic editors, who are PhD students.
The Westminster Law Review was co-founded in 2011 by Westminster Law School students Saad Minhas, Shamima Chowdhury, Sherif Elgebeily and Pravin Jeyaraj.
