History

The journal was founded as the Chinese Law & Policy Review, and published its first two volumes (for a total of three issues) under that title. It originally published articles both in English and in Mandarin Chinese. In 2008, it adopted the name East Asia Law Review, reflecting its intention to expand its focus from China to the greater East Asia region. It simultaneously became an English language only publication. [2] The journal held its first symposium in 2009, titled "Repeating History? Lessons from the 1997 East Asia Financial Crisis and What they Mean Today."

In 2016 the journal was re-titled again to Asian Law Review. [3] According to the journal's web page, the name changes are meant to reflect the "ever broader focus on the continent and its legal issues." [2]

Editor selection

The journal is managed by a board selected by its previous executives, and selects promising candidates from the law school's students as associate editors. [4]
