About the American Indian Law Review
First produced in 1973, the American Indian Law Review is published biannually by the College of Law. This unique review offers articles by authorities on American Indian legal and cultural issues, student notes and comments, addresses by noted speakers, and recent developments of interest to tribal attorneys and scholars in Indian law. The Review is produced by an independent staff of law students.
Beginning with the Spring 2007 issue, the American Indian Law Review will institute a peer-review process for publication of articles submitted by academics and practitioners in the field.
The AILR accepts candidates through a grade-on process and through a writing competition held each summer. Academic credit may be earned by student participants, with the qualification that a student may not receive credit for both the American Indian Law Review and the Oklahoma Law Review in the same semester. Membership on the American Indian Law Review is open to all interested students who meet the qualifications for candidacy; affiliation or membership with a federally-recognized tribe is not a requirement for candidacy.
Issues of the Review average about 300 pages in length. Currently, the Review reaches approximately 400 subscribers in the U.S., Canada, and abroad.
