The Michigan Technology Law Review (MTLR) is a scholarly technology law journal at the University of Michigan Law School.
MTLR is one of six legal journals published under the auspices of the University of Michigan Law School. The publication features a staff of over 50 student editors. MTLR's office is located in the University of Michigan's Legal Research Building.
MTLR is dedicated to promoting discourse and thought on the interrelated legal, social, business and public policy issues raised by technology. MTLR provides a forum for examination of the concerns and tensions between law and technology. The articles in MTLR advance legal reasoning and often serve as a catalyst for critical analysis of the complex issues that deal with development of the law and technology.
MTLR is available in both print and electronic formats. MTLR articles can be obtained at the MTLR website for free, while print versions are available for a fee.
MTLR was founded as a joint venture between the University of Michigan Law School and Ross Business School in 1994, and was originally titled the "Michigan Telecommunications and Technology Law Review." [1] MTLR was one of the first law journals available over the internet in an electronic format. MTLR published annually for its first eight volumes, but has since moved to semiannual publication. MTLR changed its name from the "Michigan Telecommunications and Technology Law Review" to the "Michigan Technology Law Review" in 2018. [2]
In 2007, MTLR launched a scholarly blog. The blog features posts written by student editors, guest writers, and faculty contributors. Posts on the blog vary in their length and formality, ranging from just a few sentences to lengthy discussions.
MTLR has hosted ten different symposia that have covered a variety of topics involving the interplay of law and technology. The most recent symposium "Privacy, Technology, and the Law," examined the legal, business, and policy issues surrounding big data and privacy.
In academic publishing, a scientific journal is a periodical publication intended to further the progress of science, usually by sharing findings from research with readers. They are normally specialized based on discipline, with authors picking which one they send their manuscripts to.
Academic publishing is the subfield of publishing which distributes academic research and scholarship. Most academic work is published in academic journal articles, books or theses. The part of academic written output that is not formally published but merely printed up or posted on the Internet is often called "grey literature". Most scientific and scholarly journals, and many academic and scholarly books, though not all, are based on some form of peer review or editorial refereeing to qualify texts for publication. Peer review quality and selectivity standards vary greatly from journal to journal, publisher to publisher, and field to field.
An academic journal or scholarly journal is a periodical publication in which scholarship relating to a particular academic discipline is published. Academic journals serve as permanent and transparent forums for the presentation, scrutiny, and discussion of research. They nearly universally require peer review or other scrutiny from contemporaries competent and established in their respective fields. Content typically takes the form of articles presenting original research, review articles, or book reviews. The purpose of an academic journal, according to Henry Oldenburg, is to give researchers a venue to "impart their knowledge to one another, and contribute what they can to the Grand design of improving natural knowledge, and perfecting all Philosophical Arts, and Sciences."

The Bluebook is compiled by the Harvard Law Review Association, the Columbia Law Review, the University of Pennsylvania Law Review, and the Yale Law Journal. Currently, it is in its 21st edition. Its name derives from the cover's color.
