Welcome to the Oxford Undergraduate Law & Policy Review — the Oxford Law Society’s new platform for undergraduate legal scholarship.

Founded in Trinity Term 2025, the Review was created to provide a space for law students to develop and publish thoughtful, original legal and policy analysis beyond the limits of the undergraduate syllabus. Having recently completed Law Moderations, our founding editors were eager to explore ideas that had taken shape in tutorials and lectures, but which could not be fully examined within the constraints of examinations.

We found that opportunities for undergraduate legal writing tended to fall at two extremes: informal blogs offering short commentary, and highly selective academic journals whose standards can appear daunting to first-time student authors. The Oxford Undergraduate Law & Policy Review was established to bridge that gap. Our aim is to publish work that is rigorous and intellectually ambitious, while remaining open and accessible to undergraduates who are passionate about exploring legal scholarship.

 We look forward to welcoming new voices in our next edition — submissions will open at the end of Hilary

Term 2026.
