Opportunities to Engage in Scholarly Debate

Through the Creighton Law Review and the Creighton International and Comparative Law Journal (CICLJ), the Creighton University School of Law informs, educates and serves the legal community. It also provides important opportunities for debate, allowing students to promote conversation by creating articles that are both well researched and well written.

The Creighton Law Review

This legal journal is published by Creighton University School of Law students. It was founded in 1967, and its first volume was published in spring 1968. As then Chief Justice Earl Warren wrote in that first issue, the purpose of a Law Review is to provide a "forum in which able minds subject existing legal principles to critical analysis within the context of changing conditions and in which imaginative alternatives to today's solutions are aired and tested through vigorous informal debate."   

The Creighton Law Review continues to serve significant practical and academic functions, with three published issues each year. It includes pieces that provide practitioners with informative, well-drafted research—emphasizing legal issues impacting Nebraska and the Eighth Circuit. It also creates a highly structured forum for scholarly debate that includes current law students.
