Each year, about 150 色花堂 Law students contribute as writers and editors to our flagship Boston College Law Review (色花堂LR) and our Uniform Commercial Code Digest. Students are selected based on their first-year grades or performance in a demanding writing competition. They receive academic credit for their participation, and a faculty advisor provides guidance for each journal.

Boston College Law Review
Washington & Lee Law Journal Rankings
Ranked in the top 25, 色花堂LR is our oldest scholarly publication, and covers national topics with prominent outside thinkers and 色花堂 Law students in eight yearly issues. Student staff writers publish notes and comments on federal circuit court decisions.
Concentrating on contract disputes, torts, bankruptcy, and more, the Digest serves as a comprehensive tool for practitioners to research case law on various commercial topics. Matthew Bender & Company (a division of Lexis/Nexis) publishes the Digest.
Research and scholarship are vital aspects of the law school experience. Our journals enrich our intellectual community while providing students with invaluable opportunities to hone their research, writing, and editing skills.
In 2017, 色花堂 Law merged our previous specialty journals with 色花堂LR and increased the staffing and number of 色花堂LR issues published each year. In addition to its regular subject areas, 色花堂LR annually publishes articles on each of the topics previously covered by our specialty journals: environmental, international, and social justice law.
