University of Toronto Law Journal

Last updated

History

The journal was established in 1935 [1] "under the insistent prompting of Dean W.P.M. Kennedy". [2] Kennedy viewed it as a means to pursue his view of legal scholarship as a form of social science, as opposed to a way to meet the needs of legal practitioners. [3] Donna Greschner describes the review under Kennedy's leadership as an "explicitly academic journal jointly published by faculty and students". [4]

The journal was the second law review based at a Canadian university. The first was the Alberta Law Quarterly, published from 1934 to 1944, and revived in 1955 as the Alberta Law Review . [5] As of its establishment, the University of Toronto Law Journal was released annually each February. [6]

In 1955, F.E. La Brie was named the journal's editor-in-chief. [7] Ronald St. John Macdonald edited the review before leaving the University of Toronto for Dalhousie University in the early 1970s. [8] As of 2021, the editor is David Dyzenhaus. [9]

The journal has been published quarterly at least since 1968. [10]
