The Full Story
About
The Case Western Reserve Undergraduate Law Review (CWRULR) is Case Western Reserve University's premier student-written and student-run journal of legal scholarship.
Mission
The Case Western Reserve University Undergraduate Law Journal is Case Western's entirely student-written and student-run journal of legal scholarship. Our purpose is to provide undergraduate students a robust and accessible scholarly platform through which they can engage with politics and the law.
​
Our dedicated founding team published our inagural issue during the Spring 2025 semester. Looking ahead, we hope to release a semiannual publication on our staffing capacity. As the ULR continues to grow, we greatly look forward to how the rich interests of our editorial team, contributors, and the Case community will shape the character and direction of our organization.
​
The CWRULR operates through two complementary branches: our flagship Law Review, a publication featuring comprehensive scholarly articles available in both print and digital formats, and our Digital Forum, an online platform that regularly publishes timely commentary and analysis on emerging legal developments. Beyond our publishing endeavors, we function as a pre-law resource at Case Western Reserve University, cultivating an inclusive community that welcomes students from all academic disciplines who share an interest in legal studies.
Vision
Unlike specialized legal publications that concentrate on particular areas of law such as constitutional law, corporate law, or criminal justice, the CWRULR embraces intellectual diversity by encouraging our writers to explore any facet of law that captures their curiosity or addresses pressing societal concerns. This approach fosters innovative interdisciplinary scholarship that bridges law with fields such as economics, political science, philosophy, history, and social justice.
Our vision extends beyond the pages of our publications. Under the leadership of current President and former Vice-President Sabrina Soto and former President Paisley Tuel, the CWRULR has taken unprecedented steps to translate academic scholarship into real-world impact. Both leaders have actively collaborated with state legislators and policymakers, ensuring that our research and analysis contribute meaningfully to legislative discourse and policy development. This commitment to practical engagement demonstrates our belief that undergraduate legal scholarship should not remain confined to academic circles but should actively participate in shaping the legal landscape.
Through rigorous scholarship, inclusive community building, and meaningful civic engagement, the CWRULR continues to redefine what undergraduate legal education can achieve, preparing the next generation of legal minds to think critically and contribute substantively to the ongoing evolution of law and justice in America.
