The Newcastle Law Review

The Newcastle Law Review was launched in 1995. Since that time an impressive variety of articles and notes has been published, representing traditional categories of legal scholarship and interdisciplinary contributions. The text of the Sir Ninian Stephen Lecture, which was established to welcome first year law students to the Faculty, has been published each year. Special issues of the review on the subject of "Treaties and Constitutions" and Children and the Law have been produced in 2001. The review is published in two issues annually.

The Editorial Board comprises eminent judges, practitioners and legal academics from Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the United States and United Kingdom. A Board of Faculty Consultants provides advice to the Editor concerning law review policies.

Students in the final two years of the Bachelor of Laws degree are offered the opportunity to enrol in a law review elective subject, LAWS5016. Students act as Assistant Editors undertaking a range of practical tasks towards the production of the review. In addition, students are required to engage in supervised research and writing tasks the results of which may be published in the law review.
