Learn More About WULR

Explore the mission of the Wisconsin Undergraduate Law Review and how we structure the organization to propel the Wisconsin Idea forward.

Misson Statement

The Wisconsin Undergraduate Law Review was created to provide unique peer reviewed publishing opportunities for undergraduate students at the university of Wisconsin-Madison. We achieve this by developing our two key writing platforms, The Journal and The Legal Beagle. Both of which are structured to include multiple levels of peer editing and review before publishing. â€‹

A Letter from the Founders

We founded the Wisconsin Undergraduate Law Review to be the University of Wisconsin at Madison most hands-on legal publication for undergraduate students. We noted a lack of opportunities for students to learn about legal writing. Wisconsin Undergraduate Law Review is designed so students can explore their curiosity of law, and apply their writing skills to two unique peer reviewed publications.

 

The organization is designed to be a forum for ideas and learning. Free from preconceived judgments on ideals or perspective, students should feel the freedom to discover themselves and their possible love for law. However, the Wisconsin Undergraduate Law Review is not just for students interested in practicing law, it is for students who understand that the U.S. legal system and the laws that it produces will impact us every day for the rest of our lives. Through research, discussion, editing, and publishing we will provide a space for discovery. 

​

We are fueled by the pursuit of the Wisconsin Idea, which can be simplified to one key driving thought: 

​

Education should influence people's lives beyond the classroom. 

​

We hope the Wisconsin Undergraduate Law Review will grow and evolve as it has been designed to do. As the organization is carried forward, we hope it will continue to be a hands-on forum for legal writing exploration, but most importantly continue to positively impact the student experience. Members of the Wisconsin Undergraduate Law Review should find the organization as a space for finding their passions and discovering a greater understanding of how law impacts the world around them.
 

Sincerely,

Zoey Kue & Arun Griffen
