The Missouri Law Review is an entirely student-run and student-edited journal published quarterly by the University of Missouri School of Law.  First published in 1936, it is the school’s oldest journal and one of the oldest legal publications west of the Mississippi River.  One volume, consisting of four quarterly issues, has been published each year since inception.  The Missouri Law Review has been cited more than 1,700 times in published court opinions, including more than 20 occasions by the Supreme Court of the United States.

The Missouri Law Review is traditionally divided into three sections: Lead Articles, Comments, and Casenotes and Law Summaries. Lead Articles are written by law professors, practicing attorneys, and members of the judiciary. Comments, written by Missouri Law Review Members, provide an in-depth focus on a particular area of law. Casenotes, written by Missouri Law Review Associate Members, analyze issues raised by recent court decisions or legislative acts. Law Summaries are also written by Missouri Law Review Associate Members and provide a broad discussion of a statute or legal topic.

The Missouri Law Review publishes one volume per academic year. Each volume consists of four issues published quarterly in the Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall of each year.
