Oklahoma Law Review is a student-edited legal journal published at the University of Oklahoma College of Law. The Review publishes scholarship on American and comparative jurisprudence and frequently features contributions from judges, practitioners, and scholars from institutions across the United States. It serves as a forum linking issues addressed by the Oklahoma Supreme Court, the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, and state and federal legislative developments to academic analysis from law faculties such as Harvard Law School, Yale Law School, Stanford Law School, Columbia Law School, and University of Chicago Law School.
The journal was founded in the postwar period alongside expansions at the University of Oklahoma and the reconstitution of legal education after World War II. Early volumes included essays by scholars associated with institutions such as University of Michigan Law School, University of Pennsylvania Law School, Northwestern Pritzker School of Law, Georgetown University Law Center, and New York University School of Law. Over decades the Review published pieces responding to major legal developments arising from decisions by the United States Supreme Court, legal scholarship produced at University of California, Berkeley School of Law and University of Virginia School of Law, and doctrinal shifts considered at symposia involving the American Bar Association and the Association of American Law Schools. Influential contributors have included authors affiliated with Princeton University, Duke University School of Law, Cornell Law School, Vanderbilt University Law School, University of Texas School of Law, Pennsylvania State University, Ohio State University Moritz College of Law, Boston University School of Law, and Michigan State University College of Law.
The Review operates under the auspices of the University of Oklahoma College of Law and is staffed by student editors selected from the law student body through a write-on competition and academic achievement criteria similar to processes at Yale Law School and Harvard Law School. Leadership positions mirror structures found at journals like California Law Review and Michigan Law Review, with an editor-in-chief, executive board, and article selection committee. Faculty advisors often include professors who have held appointments at Georgetown University Law Center, George Washington University Law School, Rutgers Law School, SUNY Buffalo Law School, and Southern Methodist University Dedman School of Law. The editorial model aligns with governance practices at University of Minnesota Law School and professional standards upheld by organizations such as the American Association of Law Libraries.
The Review publishes four issues annually, combining articles, essays, book reviews, and student notes. Content ranges from doctrinal work on topics litigated before the United States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma and the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit to comparative pieces addressing jurisprudence in jurisdictions like England and Wales, Canada, Australia, Germany, and Japan. Past volumes have included contributions analyzing statutory frameworks such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Affordable Care Act, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and case-centered commentary on opinions from the Supreme Court of the United States, including landmark rulings involving actors such as Roe v. Wade, Brown v. Board of Education, Miranda v. Arizona, Chevron U.S.A., Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc., and Marbury v. Madison.
The Review has published influential pieces by scholars and jurists associated with the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, and trial courts across the nation. Contributors have included academics from Harvard University, Yale University, Columbia University, University of California, Los Angeles, Emory University School of Law, Wake Forest University School of Law, Tulane University Law School, University of Alabama School of Law, and Cleveland State University exploring topics such as federalism, administrative law, constitutional interpretation, property, and criminal procedure. The Review’s symposia issues have featured panelists like federal judges appointed by presidents such as Franklin D. Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama.
Alumni of the Review have gone on to careers at institutions including the Oklahoma Attorney General's Office, private firms with ties to Cravath, Swaine & Moore, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, Latham & Watkins, and boutique firms in energy law and Native American law. Former members serve as clerks to justices on the Supreme Court of the United States, judges on the Tenth Circuit, and faculty members at schools such as Baylor Law School, Arizona State University Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law, University of Oklahoma, Michigan State University, University of Kansas School of Law, and Oklahoma City University School of Law. Notable alumni have held public offices comparable to roles in the United States Congress, state supreme courts, and executive agencies like the Department of Justice, Environmental Protection Agency, and Federal Trade Commission.
The Review organizes annual symposia and panels in collaboration with entities such as the Oklahoma Bar Association, the American Bar Association Section of Litigation, and academic programs at Stanford Law School and Harvard Law School. Past events examined litigation trends involving the Indian Child Welfare Act, energy regulation tied to the Department of Energy, civil rights enforcement following Civil Rights Act of 1964 interpretations, and regulatory challenges around technology companies such as Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Apple Inc., and Amazon (company). Panels have included speakers from organizations like National Native American Bar Association, ACLU, Institute for Justice, and federal agencies including the Federal Communications Commission.
The Review’s content is indexed in major legal databases and discovery services comparable to HeinOnline, LexisNexis, Westlaw, Google Scholar, and library catalogs used by institutions including Library of Congress, WorldCat, Oklahoma State University Library, University of Oklahoma Libraries, and research centers at Harvard Law School Library. The journal issues are cited in case law from courts such as the Oklahoma Supreme Court, the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, and occasionally referenced by scholars at Princeton University, Yale University, and Columbia University.
