WHAT IS LAW REVIEW?
The Mitchell Hamline Law Review is composed of articles written by students, professors, and practitioners discussing relevant legal topics. This publication is entirely student managed. The journal is published and distributed to practitioners and is available on Westlaw, Lexis, and the Mitchell Hamline Law Review website.
