Review Review

INTRODUCTION

This issue serves as the inaugural issue of the Washington University Undergraduate Law Review. The concept of starting the publication came from recognition that not every institution is afforded the same opportunities to engage in serious analysis of the law at the undergraduate level. However, it was the founders of the publication who believed that not only was there a growing interest in law across the country, but that now, more than ever, people needed to engage with our legal system—whether they’re planning on going to law school or not. Thus the mission for this journal was formed: To pursue knowledge of the law so that others can become stronger by it.

This publication showcases the strong curiosity for the law that we believe is vital in today’s innovative, diverse, and fast-paced world, where the law is forced to catch up as best it can. This issue highlights the thoughts of students from undergraduate institutions across the country, with papers on a variety of topics engaging with the law in myriad ways.

We thank our faculty advisors Lee Epstein and Gerrit De Geest, our library and website, Micah Zeller, and Washington University School of Law, for helping this dream come to fruition.

Lastly, thank you for taking the time to read this. We hope that you become empowered through the knowledge you’ve learned and strive to make our world as just as it can be.
