Founded in 1958, the Richmond Law Review is an academic organization managed exclusively by students of the University of Richmond School of Law and is intended to advance legal scholarship by publishing a forum in which the evolution of contemporary legal principles and knowledge may be subjected to national discussion and debate.

Each year the Law Review publishes one volume which appears in four separate issues between November and May.  The Annual Survey issue is published in November, the Allen Chair issue is published in March, and two general issues are published in January and May.  Each issue contains material written by outside contributors, such as law professors and judges, as well as student members of the Law Review. The Law Review also hosts an annual symposium at the University of Richmond School of Law.
