The Modern Law Review is a peer-reviewed academic journal published by John Wiley & Sons on behalf of Modern Law Review Ltd. and which has traditionally maintained close academic ties with the LSE Law School. The Modern Law Review has been identified as the "pre-eminent United Kingdom law journal" in a ranking based on statistical data from the 2001 Research Assessment Exercise,[1] and has been placed in the highest tier (A*) by the 2019 Israeli Inter-University Committее Report.[2]
The journal is a general law review that publishes original articles relating to common law jurisdictions and the law of the European Union. In addition, the journal contains sections devoted to recent legislation and reports, to case analysis, to review articles, and to book reviews. The current editor-in-chief (General Editor) is Thomas Poole. Previous editors included Lord Chorley, Lord Wedderburn, Hugh Collins, Julia Black and David Kershaw.[3]
The contents of the first 59 volumes (published between 1937 and 1996) are freely available online; more recent volumes are available on a subscription basis.
