Lincoln's Inn Law Review Lincoln's Inn Law Review is an annual legal periodical associated with Lincoln's Inn in London, publishing scholarship on adjudication, jurisprudence, and practice. The Review has engaged prominent jurists and academics from institutions such as Supreme Court of the United Kingdom, House of Lords, European Court of Human Rights, International Court of Justice, and universities including University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, London School of Economics, King's College London, and University College London. Contributors and editors have included figures drawn from Attorney General for England and Wales, Bar Council, Law Commission (England and Wales), and chambers across Middle Temple, Inner Temple, and Gray's Inn.
The Review traces roots to student and practitioner scholarship linked to Lincoln's Inn and antecedent publications that reflected debates arising from landmark cases such as Donoghue v Stevenson, Carlill v Carbolic Smoke Ball Company, and Entick v Carrington. Early editorial influence drew on personalities from the judiciary including Lord Reid, Lord Denning, Lord Hoffmann, Lord Bingham of Cornhill, and academics tied to All Souls College, Oxford, Trinity College, Cambridge, and the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies. During the late 20th century the Review engaged with reform movements initiated by the European Convention on Human Rights, the Magna Carta 800th anniversary commemorations, and statutory developments such as the Human Rights Act 1998 and the Data Protection Act 1998. The Review’s history intersects with litigation involving firms like Linklaters, Allen & Overy, Clifford Chance, Freshfields, and public inquiries such as the Hillsborough Inquiry and the Leveson Inquiry.
Editorial oversight typically combines senior bench appointments, academic editors from University of Edinburgh, University of Glasgow, University of Warwick, Durham University, and practitioner editors drawn from chambers including Blackstone Chambers, Seven King’s Bench Walk, and Essex Court Chambers. Staffing has included clerks from Lincoln's Inn Chapel and research fellows connected to bodies such as the British Academy, Royal Society of Arts, Hansard Society, and the Society of Legal Scholars. Advisory boards have featured members of the Privy Council, deans from Faculty of Law, University of Oxford, heads of department from Faculty of Law, University of Cambridge, emeritus professors associated with Harvard Law School, Yale Law School, Columbia Law School, and visiting scholars from European University Institute.

Content spans analysis of treaties such as the Treaty of Lisbon, arbitration topics referencing ICC (International Court of Arbitration), transnational litigation involving International Criminal Court, and comparative law essays referencing Constitution of the United States, German Basic Law, French Civil Code, and the European Union Charter of Fundamental Rights. Special issues have explored intersections with commissions like the Sutherland Inquiry, the Royal Commission on Criminal Justice, and policy instruments from United Nations Commission on International Trade Law.

Hart, Ronald Dworkin, John Finnis, Peter Cane, and Paul Craig.
